the wheels are off a 944 turbo i think they have been mirror polished , and as for the 5 stud custom adaptors and lots of arch work as they work out with a offset of et 30

Theres a place in Wolvo that does Re-trims called schaffano leather or something like that. They were doing re-trims really cheap when i last went to try and promote buisness, but the quality of work was really good from what i saw  . Worth a trip down there as your local anyway, there in the yellow pages .
Bodywork wise, it'd be nice to see a UK Tigra fronted Corsa for a change, with tigra front arches on the rear too. Would also aid wheel fitment alot i'd imagine. Just a thought anyway, but i'm sure you'll get it looking ace eitherway .
