i know, i got to sort the bad rake out, its annoying
getting 80mm rear springs for the rear at PVS to level it out
as for plans yeah i have loads
but i got to wait until me works all up and running properly and settled in before can sort out the bodywork
anything you have in mind i should have done to it?

Sounds good to me, not sure on bump strips though, they look shit removed unless the car has side skirts imo

right haven't updated for a while, the corsa was split and sold to Random_dav on here, and is now purple and looking pretty sweet
it was replaced by a Mk4 Astra 1.8 Sri in Sapphire Black
enjoying it quite alot, more power, more comfy and better on motorways
anyways pictures below
and so far i haven't done much to it
before
after (debadged grill)
not quite sure on it yet, havent decided
oh and a p/s picture, not sure if its abit too low?
just don't look at the back, i haven't got round to getting lower profiles at the back so doesn't look quite right atm
plans -
colour code bump strips
colour code side skirts
remove SRI badges
remove vauxhall and astra 1.8 badges
replace centre badge for an opel badge
new number plates
lowering either 30 - 40mm or lowering 90 - 100mm
space current wheels out 10mm
invest in some nicer wheels in the future (looking at 17 and 18inch merc amg wheels or some porsche wheel eg d90s)
whats people think?
