Yep, the tyres are that size on SRi wheels, the back box was an extra and is no louder than the standard one, and the window and light tints are standard

Some sad bloke on the comments must have a vendetta against corsa's, he's commented twice.

best place for the Corsa. terrible little cars - just drive one yourself and read any motoring magazine.

The picture gives the game away: Vauxhall Corsa + Sporty exhaust = Young driver + Dangerous and bad driving. Terrible cars normally mean terrible, young drivers

Yup, except the window isn't tinted.

Basically these people are seeing the exhaust tip not knowing it's an optional extra and assuming some chav has been bombing it round the place. Lots of presumptions going on.

Mmm, quite clearly swerved to avoid the oncoming driver in the wrong lane, whom was struggling to see beyond the steering wheel in her Nissan Micra, which caused the car to slide on the wet road and then enter the ditch, rolling the car onto its side. The woman that caused the accident then continued home, not having a clue of the devastation she'd just caused and after making some chicken soup and feeding Mr Snuffles, had a rant about a news story where a dangerous young driver just rolled his Vauxhall Corsa into a ditch because he's a 'boy racer'.

I wonder which version is actually more accurate?

I prefer Mike's version of the story to the uninformed Daily Mail reader comments

Definitely does not look like an optional nor Irmscher exhaust to me. Way to big to be either.
