My god, please leave the guy alone!!

If there's anyone who should be annoyed it's me because i took that car from a tatty mess to the subtle minter you see at the start. (I sold him the car)

It's his car, and he can do what ever he likes to it. Fair play he's going to get comments when posting a thread up on here for people to see, but the way people are just insulting him is bang out of order.

Good on you for doing it yourself steve and i hope all goes well with it mate.

Right, I've read this whole thread and tbh I loved the look of the car before you started fitting that kit. Looked loads better before, as a stock looking sport.

That kit just looks way to big for the corsa as do most Corsa kits. I think the only one that looks any good is the rieger kit.

I can see that car ending up on barryboys to be fair. It was a nice looking sport to start with and should have stayed standard as that's the way I reckon corsas look best.

BUT

It is your car and I respect you for having the balls to have a go yourself, however I would personally leave any bodywork to the pros as I don't have a scoobies about bodywork etc.

Best of luck with the mammoth task you've undertaken. As for the slagging off comments, it seems that on here, people just jump straight on the insults bandwagon and I reckon there is just no need for it. In all the time I've been a member on here, I reckon the percentage of decent members compared to members who shoot anyone down in flames straight away would be 20/80.

Best of luck with the project mate.

Even if the bodywork being done was to a pro standard every other comment would still have been: "Not to my taste but blah blah blah". As seen in nearly ever one of Iaz's threads for example. Hes done this stuff before on his old Corsa and it turned out okay to be fair. Just hold back until its finished y0.

wood screws are meant for use in wood not metal, hence the name.
