No, because i dont see the point in having a good engine, with 19" alloys. OK its for promotional purposes, and i am actaully looking forward to seeing it when its finished, but at the moment like that it looks terrible.
Turn out better than my girlfriends, what a muppet  . Theres a few cars i like better than Donnas, just not on this site.

Whats wrong with a 1600 engine on 17s??? There's a 280 hp Punto on 17s w ith a 1622cc engine that comes on here.
As for the car I always thought it was fine as it was, ie a track weapon

Dont think 17's on a Punto is as bad as 17's on a corsa... Corsa is a small motor, silly sized wheels

i don't see the point in having 19" wheels and a shite engine, whats wrong with evening things out with a bigger engine.

Who, Donnas? Its her car, nothing to do with me. It had 16"s on before but the front bumper scrapped all the time and the magazine wanted 1"s or 18"s for the cover feature.
You really shouldn't try to start arguments when you actaully dont know anything about the subject.
Donna only done her engine mods to make it a complete car. Styled and modified engine bay, interior, ICE, bodykit, respray.
What have you done to your car then if your so consumed with trying to slag of Donnas?

To make it complete, no point having 19" with much other engine, would be very crap then.

Most people have things like 1.2 16v n lower who try to get 18"s on.
Only 19" corsa i like at the mo is Scrivs one. But hes running a SAFE 140-150bhp odd.

Dunno? Dont know too much on the spec on that lump bar 2.0litre 16v on TB.
Scriv done the engine b4 the kit, then someone hit him i think so he done the kit.
As i say though, im sure it will look much better when its finished, but at the mo them wheels look far to big imo!

car looks f*cking quality if you ask me...
19"s seem fine, unlike other 19's I've seen... Whats wrong with having a decent engine with big wheels - If you have the budget to do it... why not?
Bit pointless to have a absolutely smashing car in every way on 19"s with a 1.2 8v engine to let it down...
keep up the good work lads

Why??
Its all about being unique!! Now I just laugh when I see the post how low on 17's......
Answer.... you can go -40mm etc.... you must have et45+ wheels....
This just breaks all the rules.... et40 wheels, -120mm front & -85mm on the rear.... its still gonna be bloudy quick  every pannel on the car is moddified.
We will see and the day is getting closer for when its all revealed.....
As for the colour/paint, not saying a word.... Just £400 / litre
