thanks people 
yeah i am reasonably happy with the stance at the moment..... untill i can trim down the arches and possibly make it a smidging lower at the front... THERE IS MORE THREAD ON THE COILOVERS!!!!
(i had to make a small adjustment to the top mounts with an angle grinder..... but still..... its not low enough yet :cool
Yes i have cut the gear selector down.... i though whilst i was doing it....
"How cool is this gonna be!!! i should take pics so i can show everyone on corsa sport how i did it..."
followed shortly by..... "hold on... then everyone will copy me and it wont be original"
hehehehe  but just for you... i cut down the plastic lift reverse... then guessed where to chop off with the hacksaw*.... then re-screw on the gear knob on the shaft and make sure the lift reverse still has enough movement to work... It feels sooooooo much better... i had to move the grey one the other day and it was like driving a truck!! its well worth it... and it costs nothing... as long as your gear knob has a wide enough bore to fit down further on the shaft and has a grub screw to grip it
*Use a hacksaw and be happy with the sore arm in the morning.... an angle grinder and sparks and a full leather interior doesnt go well together
defo watch this space... i have some plans that i may be keeping quiet at the moment...
just little things that could make all the difference
im not sure on the bump strip removal.... i sorta like the effect they give of breaking the colour up.... but im not so sure i want to because there was a line of faded paint underneath the ones on my grey car when i removed them... so its sorta put me off.....
hmmmmmmm other peoples opinions on this matter?

yeah i quite like it without the spoiler....
i have had both now... (spoiler and no spoiler i mean)
but i love the look of the side of the car with a spoiler... but then again in another way i think the blue one would look gay with a spoiler....
just a personal opinion..... not sure what it would look like on yours mate...

what u could do with the rub strips if u wanted to keep them is paint them the same colour as the wheels along with the other plastics. just an idea. i quite like it without the spoiler, its part the reason why i havent got one for mine, i like them without

yeah i have defo decided on the no spoiler i think...
from the rear it looks like it has a much wider stance, nice and curvy
yeah that could be a long term, de-texture and paint all the rub strips along with a wheel refurb as they are looking a bit worse for wear....
i think removing them is a bit too much....
