i think it looks good that line on the wings looks ok aswell coz it fades out when it comes to meet with the door

yeah, but the idea was to do a cheap conversion!

However, that way round, the wings would still need pulling out to match the tigra, and a swadge line would need to be created!

However, u could just use the tigra wings and cut them to shape the lights, but that defeats the object of what is otherwise, quite a simple conversion.

Colour difference is due to curvature of tigra wings, where as corsa door is almost flat.

No.......the whole tigra front is a straight replacement for the corsa front. The bonnet, wings, headlights and bumpers all bolt straight onto a corsa. I investigated going this couple of months back, and can tell you that the above pic is not a shop. Over on the continent this is no rarity.

The tigra wings bolt directly on, but the lower edge nearest the door needs slight trimming and bending to shape to make it fit flush with the corsa door (as the tigra bulges out more here). The wings would also need the swadge line to be smoothed out, as the corsa doesnt have this. (conversion above is ruined by this).

If you were lucky enough to find a tigra in the scrappy (obviosly with a clean front end), the same colour as your corsa, you could technically do a full front conversion in a weekend, and it would cost under £400 (including parts and having the wings bent to shape, smoothed and sprayed)

Thats one of the reasons i decided against this conversion, as they never made tigras in glacier white :(

it's been photoshopped, you can still see the original corsa wing on the left hand side (above the light).

but it's still a nice idea all the same.:)

would bee better with corsa wings imo.

cheers
