hi guys ive just bought a corsa c 1.2 sxi as standerd but i got bored of it like that after about 2 days so i got myself some 17's and a longlife zorst i didnt get the cat taken oyut as they are on the maifold and would have needed drilling out
my question is that as i have 17's on her can i lower it without making any mods to the arches???
also is there any place i can get some cheap sri mirrors
last question now what mods do you recomend doing??

www.essexracing.co.uk sell m3 style mirrors and Id expect you can drop your car 40mm without it rubbing on17s

ok i finally got pics of her and debaged the sides so all is good
the damage was to the passenger side but being a panel beater it was easy to do and also if any body wants the car doing in the south wales area il do it for free

What offset are the wheels mate? ET45 is ideal or as close to that as you can get really. My 17's are ET42 and it's lowered 40mm on Apex springs... and yes it rubs at times... so much so it's put holes in the front arch liners in a relatively short period of time  .
Oh, and why has the car not got the tinted rear lights if it's an SXi?
Mods...
SXi / SRi tinted rear lights
De-badge boot
Colour-coded boot handle
Steinmetz grille
... to name but a few!

should have kept the rubstrips on imo. Each to their own though.
Car looks nice mate. Get the badges on the back taken off and get the boot handle sprayed. Will make it look a bit cleaner.
