Hi, have you checked out?

http://forum.opelownersclubwc.co.za/

they 2.0 16v corsa isn't an option no. I also know your Corsa B' gsi is the 1.6 8v model where-as we got the 16v model.

You would need to do an engine conversion. I'd advise going for the "supey??" engine you get over there as it comes with better pistons and uprated cams giving 165bhp where-as we only get the 150 and 155bhp engines *(i know u get the 150bhp model as well).

As for the conversion, its an easyish job if your mechanically minded. Speak to m-tec regarding their fitting kits that make life a lot easier. I can't remember the link though.

Importing is expensive, but good for being individual in your country.

If you really want to make a big hit, do a search and have a look through the different bodykits that we get over here. Theres a section that shows all the front and rear bumpers you can get on this site, not sure where though.

Or go custom??
