Is it much work to get the adapters to fit, then. I Like the sound of porsche rims' I think they look hot on corsa's

bolt on and away you go, just need to make sure the offset on the porsche rims is around et60 and you can get either 15/20mm + adapters

if you trawl about enough you can usualy find wheels tyres and adapters all together

I got the rear on and drilled it, and took it off, I didn't want to drive around with a primed bumper on.

you can do it on a budget, if you have the time and determination to do the majority of the work yourself, my blue corsa (although not euro) had alot of the work done by myself and friends at college and at home, some times you just need to call in favours to get good prices and work done

Grill came today, not fitting it, cause it's rain so bad,

I have been driving for 5 years, and always had good classic cars, such as minis. Now owning a Corsa I have been pulled over twice this week.
