just the way it sits lets it down that tiny bit, looks to low on the rear for the front (but as the back sits well) the front just needs to come down 10/15mm to get rid of the arch gap..
other then that its spot on..
Fuck Off

Fuck Off
shauns all about perfection so im being picky for that reason..
its lowered 60mm front and 100mm rear so its obvious that its going to be rear end heavy
lower the front a touch or raise the rear imo..

Cheers for the comments lads
I thought it sat alright now to be honest. I know when it was still a 12v it looked like it was dragging its arse along the floor but now its got the extra weight of the 1.6 and less weight in the rear is sits exactly how I want it. It is a little bit lower at the back though but I like the back end heavy look Any lower on the front would do my head in I think lol.
But yeah as Jadyn said its -60mm front and -100mm rear (stripped out)
Kyle, the strut brace is going white mate

Easily the nicest looking Corsa on here but I still can't help but think the rear bumpers/side skirts look non-OEM and just don't look right. It's the only thing letting the car down in my opinion, a full GSi kit would be utter perfection in my view.
Have you had any trouble about numberplate lights? Mine were dirty last week (the actual light) and I got pulled over...

Cheers bud I can understand where your coming from yeah. The rear bumper was always going to be a bit marmite but personally I love it I prefer the steinmetz skirts over the gsi ones as well, they have a bit more shape to them without looking over the top I reckon
As for the numberplate light, mine doesn't even work  It got smashed off in the crash and broke the connections..oops. Really need to get that sorted asap

Theres only one that ruins your car. The UK law. Black/silver plates would be cool, or a rear white one.
Oh, and that blue plug

The top orange bit comes off, couple of little clips. Although i think halfrauds sell the lower plastic bit anyway. Some places online sell little metal caps too.

Cheers for the positive comments guys
OJC, what is it with you an this green tinted glass lark Im sure i remember you saying about it before. Got any pics?
Just made a very nice little purchase As you all probably know I've been after a roll cage now for a while. After finding out how crap MPS Performance are to deal with I decided to keep my eyes peeled for one second hand. I spotted one on here but some bugger beat me to it. I was gutted. Then after browsing ebay I spotted this beaut! The listing wasn't the best. Crap photo and a one line description. After a few emails I decided to risk it and place a bid. The start price was £50 so I thought put my limit at £150 just to be safe. Then off I popped to work for 5 hours. I raced home after to check it I won it or not. nobody else bid on it and I got it for £50  fookin bargain lol!
Just got back from picking it up and its exactly what I was hoping for, turned out to be an MPS Performance one which was wanted originally Took me and the lad about 15 minutes to work out how to get it in the car but we got there in the end! I can't believe how light it is though My omp strut brace weighs about 10x more lol.
Heres some pics!
Its staying chrome for the minute as moneys a bit tight what with christmas coming up etc. I'll see if the chrome grows on me and then decide whether to get it sprayed up white or not in the new year
