My new alloys are now on, got them ordered yesterday and they got fitted at 17:15 today...... fast service. Have a look below and tell me what you think.... and dont say lower it now 
OH..... I also decided to de-badge my boot as well today, took my time to make sure I didn't go wrong.... It was well easy, everyone with a Corsa C should do it....
Opinions on both please
Anyways enough talking here are the pics......
Loads of room in the back arches left (below)
and at the front...
Before I de-badged
After I de-badge (the lad in the pic is my cousin, he lent a helping hand)
Cheers

Looks good mate! De-badging the look loads better IMO, thats why mines de-badged!!
Your suspension might drop a little bit more when you drive about abit, coz mine looks lower than that and it aint lowered. After you jack it up the suspension stays up for a bit I have found from changing my wheels! Changed one a few weeks ago and one side at the front was higher than the other for a bit, looked well dodgy!

si_reading...... glad you like them, agree what you say about the suspension, plus my cars only 1 and a half weeks old, so doubt it has had time to drop much...... Plus the guy at Savoy that fitted them said it should drop within a week, as the suspension stays like you said....
MattyB - Thanks

Would love to lose the dog...... but thats my girlfriends addition to the car, she said as seen as I get to do it up and shes helping towards the payments, that she be allowed something on the car  ......
Anyways its a small price to pay for the money she helps me out with
Once the cars all done up I will break the dog and tell her it was an accident

looks well, colour of the car is actually v.nice also, one of the nicer colours i've seen
why did u not remove the SXI badges on the side?
also, i take it you get spigot rings with the alloys, these allow the wheel to sit on the hub correctly
