I have much respect for going against the grain, and there are certain aspects of the car i like, but certain bits i dont like, and as i said earlier, i voice my opinions, because if people dont want to hear them, they shouldnt post on the internet.
Anyways, im looking forward to seeing the new pics, with the new rims especially.

Yea, get with the times. CS is about rusty bonnets, bonnet bras and wheels that have the wrong offset.

I was gonna say, its funny everyone is actually saying 'I love how your doing your own thing, not listening to all the corsasport guys telling you what to do' No one has slated the car in the thread, only some constructive critisism.

But a few have though. One springs to mind, which went along the lines of "Looks gay, should have done it in pink, purple and grey camo". Right constructive is that I'm not bothered that people don't like it, as i know its not going to be to some peoples tastes. The only thing is that bothers me when people say comments like the above, yet won't do it themselves, or say its shit, when clearly time, thought, money and effort has gone into it. Not a car thats crashed through Halfords - thats shit!
And i haven't really listened to anyone. There's been a few who said i should do this, that and the other, and keep repeating themselves in the hope that i'll do it. If i listened to what comments have been left in the past, i wouldn't have modified a van! Or I'd have probably ended up with it when i first bought it, with a standard Corsavan on Cav GSI wheels. But i suppose thats why i differ from most people on here. I wanted to build something that gave me the oppertunities to take my van to shows here and abroad. The mag features have come along with what i've done, not what i've set up.
And Jono's comment has made the reaction you'd expect!
Jono, make 'em have it! Although you really need to get with the times! Its not Speedlines anymore! Cesaero's now old pal!

To be honest here... I don't like the idea of changing the colour or everything on the van so soon after a magazine feature. That was a pretty daft move. Also, the white van + rusty bonnet + chequred steelies was like a 'trademark', if someone said those three mods to me I'd know instantly they were talking about your van.
I just think the colour it was for the feature was spot on and the styling was awesome, and you could have put this 'camo' affair onto another corsa. I do LIKE this camo look, the colour is spot on.... but did you need to do it A) to your van and B) so soon?

A) Yes i did, and B) yes i did.
The van was featured four times in the pearl white (twice for Fast Car, onec for a German mag, and once for some American online mag), so it was nothing new in the show circuit anymore. I wanted to change its appearance for me as its something i'd always thought about doing, so why not?

i know what you mean about the change so soon after the shoot i would have taken it out for a month like that while its in the shops BUT i did the same, if someone was to mention something such as the split bonnet, wide arched flip corsa or something along those lines for 3 years or longer everyone would have known it was my car - i then changed it to hydros, 20s etc and everyone still knew that way too - its the van and only van i know of out which is modded so everyone will know this - all you need to do is mention the completely smoothed back end and people will know this van anyway

Rears at the moment are ET11 so the new rears are going to poke another 11mm. The fronts are ET 30 (ish) but they'll poke another 20mm!
As for the arches i think they're fronts, but two of each side, but i can find out for deffinate
