Very tidy - altho no corsas look good in flame pink.....i mean red.
If that were mine, i'd slam it 60mm on a set of wide 15"s.
What front is that?? Thought it might be the standard post 97 with irmscher splitter, but it looks too smooth!

IMO Decent = reliability, efficiency, ease of driving on motorway and provides low insurance.
NOT a buzzy little 16v petrol engine in a tiny car that gives me 25mpg round town I hardly ever race or cain my car (especially living in London), so have no need for top speed of 140 or sub 8 0-60s. However, if u feel the need to do this, then i suppose thats YOUR choice.
My brother has a chipped GTi6. It has broken down 8 times (all engine failure). The tow people refuse to come out any longer. Great. He has this car just so he accelerate quickly, and go round corners quickly. I laugh at him.

Its a start, and theres work in progress to be done i agree. Get rid of the door bump strips, also, some 16"s and lowered about 30-40mm would look much better!
Not a bad start though.
