I want to do some more subtle mods to my car as I dont care much for big kits. I was thinking of some clear rear cluster's. Not the lexus ones, just the opaque clear type. What do you think on the car below?

Also! what about a front grille? Anybody recomend a good make to replace the standard one? Kinda like the stimez option but its a bit pricey at £135 for a relativly small piece of plastic?

single wiper option sounds a good idea, but -60 springs gets a little uncomfortable. Its already on -40mm springs. just had a look for this kremei front grille but cant seem to find it or any pics? dont have a link do you?

its only my opinion and u dont have tolike it but I hate clear rears - they just look cheap and nasty, infact most of the corsa aftermarket lamps look nasty.

try somethin a bit more custom-like Jaffas done, wit 1/2 clear1/2blue bm style lights, dont do the same tho, just think of something different thats not ott.

hows about colour coding a set of clear rearst o the colour of ur car

if I was you, I'm a colour coding whore so i'd have the bumpers/arches all c/c to bodywork, aftermarket grill, blue side repeaters, full debadge and single wiper convert. and there you have a very tidy corsa

Adam_lee - Car's looking nice and clean

I'd recommend some MHW rear clusters in blue, they really suit that colour - I used to have some on my old car...

Also try a Kamei grill as suggested above.

Try looking at http://www.pvdnet.co.uk

I've got a Kamei grille on mine, removed the badge though. My rear lights are cheap Ultra blue ones. Not strictly legal, but I've never been pulled, and it passed the MOT at a main dealer with them on..

I'd go for the clear ones mate. Look cool wi the clear repeators as well.

Are they 16's mate?

As for grilles... well, Steinmetz if youve got the cash. Otherwise look at Kamei, PVD badgeless one...

as Trotty says http://www.pvdnet.co.uk

Thanks for the constructive coments lads. Willy I like colour code'd cars but on mine i think im gonna leave the black alone. It just breaks the blue up a bit which suits my eyes.

My plan is to have only three colours on the hole car. Blue, silver and black.
thats why i wanna get rid of the big red rear clusters but as LiVe LeE pointed out i wasent sure if it would look a bit tacky.

The grill looks great on cobras car, in fact the hole cars v nice. Who makes the front splitter?

The wheels are 16"s Leven Cruise, Its only an sxi so i dident want to drain all the power with 17"s. I chose them wheels cos they look big for there size imho. I still prefer the steinmetz grille but is a bit steep.

I am also thinking of light black tints. Ill have a play with photoshop and post the pics some time this weekend. Lets see what it looks like eh!

Thanks lads. Anymore coments are welcome

Ok had a play with photoshop, do you think the rear clusters look tacky or do they do a great job of getting rid of the ugly RED ones. Ive put a light tint on the glass too. Should i do this for real?

Before

After

corsa starter. the idea of a silver mesh soulds intresting, not sure though? maybe a kamei grill with the mesh sprayed silver? hmmmmmm.
