That's what the Corsa GSi should look like IMO. Smoked grey, tinted headlights and anthracite 16" speedlines

A c20let engine is all that's needed to finish it off for the perfect Corsa.

Bloody hell, price of new Alessios.

I paid 700 for mine with Pirelli 195/40s in 2004.

£1159 on 50 profiles is nuts.

In fact would they even look any good? 195/50 is huge.

All I have left off my Corsa is a single Allessio

Knew it was worth keeping hold of, looks like I'm sitting on a goldmine

I paid about 700 as well for mine in 2003 with the classic Yokohama a539 tyres on. If the car is clean I don't see the problem with the price. Not that easy to find clean gsi's anymore.

Should add I just flicked through the pics on my phone haven't zoomed in and analysed them from a computer monitor.

I paid over 600 for my Gaz kit so it is possible he spent that


Looks very nice

True. I spotted one in a car park the other day and was looking really sorry for itself.
Didn't look like it had been washed in a long while, supposed to be Flame Red but was more like Matt Pink, rust all over the front of the bonnet. Looked like the owner didn't take care of it at all.

Travelling for a car does put the cost up a bit though really. Can understand what they mean sometimes.

I've never really bothered about travelling far for the right car. I just make a verbal agreement with the owner that if I buy it he knocks the price off the car to compensate my travelling costs.

I'd they want a sale and they know I'm travelling a long way to see the car then 99% of the time they'll agree as I'm not exactly gonna travel over 100+ miles just to view it.

wow. id actually decline a sale if someone travelled 100+ miles and then tried to knock travelling money off. aint my problem where they live.

edit, ive done it before actually, corsa 20xe 7 years ago, when someone tried to knock 150 quid off a car as they came from north wales to see it. i said no, they went home. i sold it for what i wanted a few days later.

and the porsche as well last year.

Is that not a x16xe engine in there? also would prefer a gsi which hasnt been coated with waxoyl underneath so you can see how much rust there is as stonechip & waxoyl can hide rust quite well.

Still a nice clean example tho.
