Some stuff to consider and look into:

- MHW's (rear lights)
- Irmscher (rear lights, softstar alloys and kits)
- Rieger (kits)
- Steinmetz (kits)

tbh, Vegasphil hit the nail on the head

Irmscher smoked ones



Quite similar to the MHW ones but they are:

a) easier to get hold of nowadays as MHW are well... god knows what they're doing

b) have the sexy I:



c) apparently built better to... some say yes some say no

Expect to pay around about £175

My old lights... smoked lexus ones which weren't to great tbh



Or maybe these



South African rear lights... very rare

You can buy them here

Irmscher rear lights can be purchased here

More irmscher bits here (exterior) and here (interior)

MHW lights here but don't buy them as they'll just send you an email saying there is a back log and you'll have paid 150 quid and be waiting around for months as some people on here have

A company I used for my exhaust and some other bits is Euro Performance they have a good range of stuff for the Corsa B and fast delivery .etc

If you need spares for the corsa I'd recommend Auto Vaux for low cost Vauxhall parts.

Also another place with the MHW's is Rimstyle @ £135 but people have been waiting for months as i said I'd pay a little more and go with Irmscher if you fancy them!

Yeah he had to import them in so that cost quite a bit i think in terms of post and customs .etc then also get the lexus lightbulb holders to make them fit which also proved difficult.... You could probably do it all yourself slightly cheaper but it'd be a lot of effort!

TBH mate i think them lights can look a bit tacky, never really been a fan of fully tinted rear lights, plus you will have to make sure they are road legal.

MHW's or Irmscher smoked ones are the way to go IMO

True, im not sure what offset OZ wheels are but i dont think they are vauxhall friendly, probably best checking that before you order any mate, try keep it as close to 49mm as possible, 45 is fine.

Ooo, I thought they all alloys would be okay?

Also.. 15 or 16? , Will 16 be too big?

16's will be fine, just make sure you check that offset, if you like the wheels in the 2nd pic i think millie miglia (sp) make some similar, check Matty G's garage, he has them and they do look nice

All ridges smoothed out

MHW Rear smoked lights
DEPO Front Smoked lights
16's (Speedlines/softstar's maybe even my wheels may look good on that)
Lowered 40mm on the 16's
Light smoked tint's on the rear
and maybe a splitter on the front/rear (of your choice)
Subtle but very effective, and will keep you happy until you can start affording bigger engine's etc
