thats something i remember from the old days, when people used to fit loads of splitters to a normal bumper, such a strange look but loads of people did it.

Under Old Skool Photos
There were many more I didn't have the savvy to save when I was younger 
I'll also be making a new Corsa Video soon that'll also go up on youtube.

That fiesta turbo was incredible at the time, as was the Red escort.
Wonder what happened to the Renault 5?

Fiesta had a chromed and hosed up RST engine. Red escort was great too (that was a Ultimate Streetcar event). As was the 300bhp Astra, no expense spared on it.
Wonder what happened to most cars. I know the Supercharged Estate was stripped. The Green 306 Sedan was amazing!
Ecosse stand was Doncaster 2001. Same for KingDOM Dev Nova.
C4 did have 1st 18s. Disputed with chap in Ireland who done very similar (same wheels) but confirmed with mag that Dave had his done a few months beforehand. No-one else in UK had done it by 2001.
Also have a lot of VHS videos from shows, USC @ Pod, Max Power Live, PVS 2003, etc. Currently converting to digital format. Will be re-uploaded Corsa Vs Saxo day also as former upload cut the screen size down.

I dont think I have im afraid. Might be on a video, but I only had chuckaway cameras pre 2002 (bar short loan of a slot in floppy disk digital camera, 39 photos on a single floppy disk ).
Thats why i've had to scan these in. Not got any of cunthead Jamie Shaws original Yellow or Version1 silver R5GTT's either. Missing so many top cars pictures its silly

I wish people still modified cars like this, they look bad but there's more variety. And to say some of these Corsas are only 1 - 2 years old, I wouldn't dare modify a car to that extent that's almost brand new

C4RSA in those early pics is only a few weeks old, Dave bought it 2000 on the W reg in March and by April it was fully resprayed in a pink-white flip, kit, wheels, seats. Brand new car.
