You can't get post 97 GSi's, the GSi became the Sport and lost the kit and became boring.

But the GSI kit will fit a post 97 car.

Brocade Yellow GSI Sounds awesome!

as people have said they only made the GSI pre 97 facelift. they only made the GSI between feb 94 and nov 95. the kit will fit fine providing you get one which hasent been in any accidents ect. i havent seen a Brocade yellow corsa with a GSI kit. gotta be one somewhere tho.

IMO, if you want brocade yellow, buy a brocade yellow car.

Nothing worse than a two tone paint job.

Incorrect, I have seen a K-reg Corsa GSi, I've only ever seen it once and it was a genuine GSi

So using this chart it seems that GSi's were avaliable from late 92

AUG- JULY
A 1983 B 1984 C 1985 D 1986 E 1987 F 1988 G 1989 H 1990
J 1991 K 1992 L 1993 M 1994 N 1995 P 1996 R 1997 S 1998

So you'll strip the whole car to nothing and spray the whole shell?

If not, theres no point. For what it'd cost to do, you'd be able to buy a brocade yellow shell.

there are a couple of brocade yellow gsi's, I've seena few pics over the last couple of days, would be better off buying a brocade yellow car and transferring your parts over though.
