Yes cant see why it wont work but it would be wrong to refit the broken parts back to a car with 12months mot

Think of it another way if you put back the broken parts its as good as not having MOT, would you let your sister buy a car which has MOT failiure parts on it? without replacing them.

I agree it will get you out of the shit for an MOT but its wrong to replace on faulty or worn parts after. To a degree its fraud

the damaged suspension will be put onto my gsi so basically im swopping the front suspension over.
only down side is the suspension on my sisters corsa is lowered 60mm
so her car will be lowered 60mm on the rear and sit higher on the front and vice versa on mine
will be getting new suspension for mine any way soon
