What size are those wheels/tyres? I couldn't make it out from the pics.

I fancy lowering mine by 40mm and I think that is pretty much what it'd look like.

any pics of what the car looks like at the moment?

i would concentrate on sorting some better wheels out first matey, cav gsi's are a bit outdated but they still look the dogs (imo the ones youve got at the min are awefull and arnt doing you any favours)

then id probs look at getting either some new plastics, or just heat gun the ones you got so they come up nice. the paintwork needs a lot of attention to, but i think i read that your sorting that out.

i wouldnt worry about making mistakes, i have a picture in my storage place of how my car used to look when i first 'finished' it, its god awefull! you learn a lot by making mistakes.
need any advice people on here are v.helpfull, just ask.

cheers m8!! i have got some brand new arches coming so i gotta fit them. when i get a bit more money i am thinkin bout some corsa sxi alloys and spraying them black. what u think??? the paint work its terible i know i have tryed t-cut and restore polish and it has made it a bit better but its still looks shite lol. i have read a project and build thread by someone and the are in the same situation as me and they used that 3 step polish/paint restore, and they praise it lol. i have seen some pics of his car and its amazing!!.
