Well thought i best start a wip up for my corsa.
Its a T - 99 1.0 12v, engine is standard and having replaces the maf, stepper mtr and egr housing runs really well.
Got some plans for it over the nxt few months.

As it stands its got a debadged grill, heko wind deflectors and side mouldings/rear badges removed.
Painted the 13" rims black and got some centre caps.
Clear ovals for the wings seemed a cheap mod from vauxhall direct,£9 if that.
Bought some of these for £20 a rim !!

Tyres up next but might follow the chap with white b and have the insides banded to get the witdh.
Picked this up too.....

Not sure though....want a clean look so might pass on the spoiler.
Picked up a tigra scuttle too.

Well thats just a starting point, comments welcome good or bad.

I know its not cheap, but when you think of spending £500-£650 on rims its still about the same.
Who was that with? Everyman with a welder seems to be at it. Need some good feedback of a company before i take the plunge.

Well nowt doing today so had a trial fit of one of the rims.


Seems ok,will need a good 60mm drop to get a good stance. Will need to look at another set of caps as these dont catch the nuts/centre hub to stay on.
Tyres.....looking at 165/50/15's and to be honest got some funny looks when asking for them.Anyway been quoted from £49 up to £75 depending on brand. Nankangs came in at £52 fitted each and from what ive seen they look nice.
Found a short mast to so spun that on.

Rear spoiler made an outing too,

I think iam going to leave it off, any ideas what there worth in the second hand market?

Well thats it i think for today... And its only 12o clock.....

Body work looks really good on that mate! Keep the poverty spec bumpers too Spoilers aren't worth much mate, usually about 10 - £15 with the backing plate.

I did, but without the rubber on its not much cop,i can see the 2" band will be needed to make it look good. Mite try some spacers to see what that looks like.
Should get the tyres by nxt saturday.
