I get wat u mean daimo, but i dont even think Alex's looks that bad, and my front will be higher so it'll just be a bit lower at the back which i think will look good

And sorry but i think you are wrong with this rear, it looks pretty level to me and with the FK front not the combat i think it will look SWEET!

Not got any of C18, but look under ICys site for Alex Arden BVlue 1.6 16v Sport. He has a combat front and combat rear and steiny skirts. U'll c whati mean. I'll pop a link up to his car in a sec 4u.

Any opinions?

That one is a modified standard rear isn't it??

FK dont make a rear, the only matching one is the Dietrich RS rear which i have seen in flesh and really dont like at all!

That'll look crap too. You can see on that pic on C18 how much lower the rear is compared to the skirts. The FK front sits roughly the same depth as the standard front.

Rears that I'd recommend are a smoothed standard (Take the ridge out where the black plastic and colour coded bit meets), Irmscher rear (V.Pricey), Dietrick/FK rear, or Steinmetz rear skirt :)

U can get lower lips for the Corsa rear. Go into ur local vaux and have a look at the Irmscher Styling catalog for the corsa B.

Good piccies :D

What do these irmscher/steiny splitters look like?
I have not seen anything to go onto a standard Pre 97 rear bumper before??

So if i go 4 that rear, wud i be better off with rieger GT-C Skirts??

Had a quick go on MS paint!! lol gives an idea. But i'm with daimo on the "bridge effect".

I'd recommend a Standard bumper, smoothed, with maybe a thin irmscher/steiney splitter blended in.

That rear bumper sits a lot lower than the skirts therefore would make the car have a "bridge" effect.

Anything can be built up/smoothed if u have the money.

But i wouldn't advise that rear end with those skirts. Up to u though.

have seen people smooth the same ridges on the combat front bumper so it can be done.

i reckon u got a spot on choice there, will look v.nice :thumbs:

posted on 11th Jun 03 at 14:57

i have got the FK RS front which is very rounded and smooth and i want to get the steinmetz skirts which are also rounded, so cud this bumper :



be modified to remove the 'lumps' on either side underneath the clusters, to make it look a lot smoother??

here is a pic of the front :



Would anyone reccomend a different rear to go with the above front / sides??
