the corsa vxr was beeing driven by a young girl who put it on its roof. the seats are sold and goin thursday. i treid to buy the engine but he wont sell for a penny less than 1750. i would rather find a z-let for that money. not keen on how the ecu is part of the cd player and dails. would be quite a tecnical conversion *wiring* into anything other than a corsa D.

i was tempted to bid on the front bumper and make it fit onto the C, same as the skirts. but these days they make them out of un-weldable materials so you cant repair them, thus me not being able to cut and shut

but if you own a D, could make a lovely replica if the price of parts is right

looks dodgey

i dont think the bumper would look right at all on a corsa c, it barely looks right on the car it was designed for

it would be used as a form of "apron" i think if it was done right it could look really nice. same as the skirts. but its the risk of them being made from rubbery/plastic which just melts under heat

and also alloys which are "All in mint condition" would have thought at least one would have some kerbing for it to flip onto the roof..

You can get round the wiring for about a grand, which is probably less than you'd spend trying to get the normal ECU working in a C.

PADDANGER SEAT



Also if you crashed a vxr, would you not claim off insurance rather than split it?
