Thought it was about time I updated this thread. The cars now running a Z20LET engine with a few performance upgrades. My mate came around this morning and we attacked it with a machine polisher to get rid of a few marks from when the engine was being fitted.

Thanks.
The exhaust catches a lot now, I could maybe do with raising it one day...
As for the handling side of things, I don't know why people say that Z20LET's are too heavy for Corsa's, mine is absolutely fine and not that different to the 1.8 to be honest, must be people running crap suspension who say that.

Cheers. I've not used mine much yet, but from what I have it's very fun so do it!
I'd go for a C too, ZLET's are tried and tested in them. As far as I know, there's not many ZLET B's kicking about.
The bumper is a facelift bumper with a Steinmetz upper grille, SRi lower grilles and an Irmscher splitter. Nathan's bumper is the airdam.

Yep, Mark's a legend. Recommend him to anyone thinking of getting a Vauxhall conversion done.

Unfortunately not, the bay was pretty dirty (me and my mate had spent four hours machine polishing it yesterday and couldn't be arsed doing anymore cleaning) so all the photos are from a distance.
It's been in the pipeline for about 3 months now, feels like it's been going on for ages now for me!

Ahh right, it was parked up on Total Vauxhall's stand. It was at the back though and quite easy to miss I suppose.

Theres really only a hand full of corsa C's that really do anything for me, and this is one of them.
Could be my favourite C ever actually.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Been a while since I've been on here, a few updates for you but not many pictures unfortunately.
The car was recently in the bodyshop for the front bumper and wheel arch to be resprayed so it's looking fresh again. Don't know if you can tell from the last pics but the bumper had taken a battering from stones! Also had the front two tyres replaced this morning with Falken ZE914's, not used them before - has anyone got any experience with them? Hope they are a bit better than the Proxes.
Now an actual update, I picked up some Fiesta RS Turbo bonnet vents.
Not sure when I'm going to fit them, might wait until after winter!

Nothing you can do unfortunately. I've seen two C's with RS ones and they look way too big for the car IMO. These ones are a bit smaller so hopefully they'll look good. Dan Smith's Corsa (featured in this month's TV) has them and they look well.
