as you all know i swapped my 5 door corsa
for a vectra sri 140 estate
the vectra is already lowered 60mm on front and 40mm on the back and it sits really quite nice
it also has
half leather interior
6000k hid
straight through exhaust (taking off)
vxr style backbox (taking off)
future plans-
facelift gsi rep
possibly 2.5 or 2.6 v6 lump
either 19"vxr wheels, 18" vxr wheels or veccy gsi wheels
will get more pics as and when i can
comments welcome

He's just giving his opinion, why did you post this up if your going to get angry at peoples opinions? can't expect everyone just to say its nice
However, I like it should look nice on some VXR wheels

Saying he has hairy ears and 3 dogs in the back has nothing to do with his car....Cock of a comment tbh!
Loving it!
