I've got a complete GSi front bumper, sideskirts, rear bumper and arches that I bought only 2 weeks ago. Bought it partly cos I wanted to fit it to my car and partly cos even if I decided not to I would still make a good profit on it if I sold it on as I bought it so cheap in the 1st place

Anyway now I'm wondering whether I should get the GSi kit fitted or sell either all of it or just the front bumper and use the money to buy Steinmetz or Irmscher parts instead!

I know I want at least some sort of front splitter or complete front bumper, colour coded arches and door handles and also sideskirts. Think I will keep the rear as it is but fully colour coded. I dont want any fibreglass bodykits or anything too wild.

So can people put up pictures of Corsa Bs with either GSi kit, Steinmetz or Irmscher parts on so I can decide which I like the best. I'm a bit stuck with what to do TBH!

Heres a pic of my car as it is now so sensible suggestions welcome please

Thing that puts me off about the airdam is the price other than that it is sex

Airdam is best corsa bumper IMHO PMSL SMB ETC... Well worth the 350-360 or so you'd pay as it comes with wiring loom and hella fogs worth about 90 quid, oem vaux fog switch, and some mesh for the lower grille. Get a decent package for the money.

gsi front, steiny skirts, and post97 rear are a good combo.

mines gsi front steiny (replica) sides, and normal pony gsi rear.

If you've got the GSi stuff, throw that on. You won't get an airdam and Steinmenz skirts for the same money, not that doesn't need loads of prep = labour = money.

One of the mounting brackets where the bumper meets the arch has snapped on the GSi front bumper I've got! The kit is at the moment white so will that not cost me a fair bit to be prepped and painted? Got 1 quote so far and they want £500 to prep, spray and fit the front bumper, sideskirts, arches and respray rear bumper Was more than I was expecting TBH, gonna try a few more places.

Yeah if there's prep needed on the GSi one that'll put the price to fit that up a bit. No odds if its white or whatever, same price to paint if it needs paint. If anything black is easy to match. White is a nightmare.

Yeah thats the good thing about black. Going to try to get one of my mates to prep it as its not in bad condition, few stone chips, just needs rubbing down and then get somewhere to spray it. Suppose if I get mates to prep it, a bodyshop to spray it and then fit it myself its going to bring down the price alot. Only thing I havent thought of a solution to is the broken mounting point! Any ideas?

Matt you have wanted the GSi kit for a while now mate........ its sexual on a corsa!

I starting to like steiny skirts though!

Just want to add:

How common I've noticed T12's are:



And all these people smoothing ridge out a post 97 front bumper ( )

Matt advertise the GSi kit see how much it would make and then find what you could get with the money then decide whats the best option!
