Thanks again

I've got a Cannon 400D, only a base model DSLR with an 18-55mm wide angle and a 75-300 zoom lens. Planning on getting a fix 50mm lens for more arty photo's.

WOOO HOOO! SLABS AND 70-80mm DROP!

Oh man I love the way it looks now, I hope you guys agree.
It handles 100X better with these on, Tyres and the front suspension. No loud bangs like I had with my coilovers.

Here is a time lapse of me fitting them, sorry it cuts off ran out of batteries.

Yeah well please with how it looks and drives now. The suspension I put in was only some Gmax, which used to be owned by Generation on here. So much better than my coilovers.

Nope the wheels are in a good condition, a few curb marks where the pervious owners car had been stolen. The strange white stuff on the wheels is the soapy stuff they use to put the tyres on easier.
I'm going to be giving the car a good was tomorrow so will take some photo's of how they look.

Hey Sean, haven't seen you around Luton much. But funnily enough I drove past your house and caught a glimpse of your awesome red corsa

Yeah i'm tempted to put one on the side of my car, along with keeping one of my allcorsa stickers. *Would make the sticker myself as well *

Hopefully will have some nicer photo's of my car tomorrow once it gets a wash.

They were FK coilovers, the one on the passenger side is shot. I plus they were down about 70mm and the ride was very bouncy. Pretty much cheap shit , with the suspension i've just put in the ride is 100X's better, hardly any bounce and a nice firm ride without banging where it's hitting the arches, like my old wheels did with my coilovers.

Hehe yeah that my mechanic cat, he checked the underside of my car for me and then went about checking my suspension before running off.

Cheers sharpy, yeah I was checking the torque settings for the bolts of the suspension. I'm glad it made you laugh

Little photoshop i've been playing around with



Fully black GSI kit, don't think the black rear bumper suits it at all.



What everyone wants me to do



Since i've got a thread on allcorsa, everyone has been saying I should try doing the black topped GSI like DansCorsaSXi. It's been in discussion for a couple of months now, on what to do with my gsi kit

So I think it's more than likely I will be going ahead with the black top GSI like that picture. Sorry if you feel i've copied you Dan.

Cheers Dan, means a lot that your cool with it

I think the first time I saw your car is when DarryH posted on allcorsa with a recent MK meet, I think it was 2010. Your car is bloody nice, amazing finish on the paint work.
