i have got the FK RS front which is very rounded and smooth and i want to get the steinmetz skirts which are also rounded, so cud this bumper :
be modified to remove the 'lumps' on either side underneath the clusters, to make it look a lot smoother??
here is a pic of the front :
Would anyone reccomend a different rear to go with the above front / sides??

That rear bumper sits a lot lower than the skirts therefore would make the car have a "bridge" effect.
Anything can be built up/smoothed if u have the money.
But i wouldn't advise that rear end with those skirts. Up to u though.

Had a quick go on MS paint!! lol gives an idea. But i'm with daimo on the "bridge effect".
I'd recommend a Standard bumper, smoothed, with maybe a thin irmscher/steiney splitter blended in.

What do these irmscher/steiny splitters look like?
I have not seen anything to go onto a standard Pre 97 rear bumper before??
So if i go 4 that rear, wud i be better off with rieger GT-C Skirts??

U can get lower lips for the Corsa rear. Go into ur local vaux and have a look at the Irmscher Styling catalog for the corsa B.
Good piccies

Also, this corsa is white like mine and combines the combat 1 rear with the steinmetz sideskirts as i want to do and i think it looks really good, not like a bridge??
Any opinions?

That'll look crap too. You can see on that pic on C18 how much lower the rear is compared to the skirts. The FK front sits roughly the same depth as the standard front.
Rears that I'd recommend are a smoothed standard (Take the ridge out where the black plastic and colour coded bit meets), Irmscher rear (V.Pricey), Dietrick/FK rear, or Steinmetz rear skirt

That one is a modified standard rear isn't it??
FK dont make a rear, the only matching one is the Dietrich RS rear which i have seen in flesh and really dont like at all!

I get wat u mean daimo, but i dont even think Alex's looks that bad, and my front will be higher so it'll just be a bit lower at the back which i think will look good
And sorry but i think you are wrong with this rear, it looks pretty level to me and with the FK front not the combat i think it will look SWEET!
