what ever u do dont spoil it by modding the exterior mate. they look good standard, as the corsa GSis do


Your preaching to the converted mate, there is no way she is going to modify the outside, she is'nt stupid and knows how one off these cars are, especially in arden blue, the only thing she is contemplating is the Eibach Sportline kit to lower it a bit to give it a more aggresive stance and a Bastuck or Milltek exhaust.

As I said she has the powerpipe, she wants the Samco air hoses and water hoses, the OPC plug cover and a badgeless grille, but not the Irmscher one, the FK one.

Its a plain slatted grille, nothing on it and suits the GSi better than the Irmscher cross hatch grille.

Looks really good Ollie and Rach Love how smooth and nice they drive

Been looking at them recently but most seem to hold their value still

Good buy

i must admit i am very tempted, its just cars with air flow meters dont really like dump valves, however if it was my first turbo, then i would dfeinately want one, so cant really say too much

make sure its the DV26-D dump valve!
While your doing that get the promota sport pipe with the dump valve outlet

www.zlet.co.uk has how to fit the dump valve and its not really that hard to disengage the old one!!

blue flame exhausts are £250 cat back on ebay from blueflame and they have a raving review!!

If you look on www.z20let
