i think wee kev should go for 17's with that kit, used to have 17's lowered 60mm on my 5 door, NO rubbing either :)

i think that 15's are slightly too small even on a corsa.

found some nice skirts on the net, cheaper than steinmetz too and i dont think ive ever seen em b4 :):)

im not gonna get a spoiler for mine ive decided, i like it without one, unless i get a wicked deal on an irmscher one.

skirts, i may try and find some from europe that ive not seen many of before, have a euro bank account so its really easy for me to get stuff from abroad.

engien conversion, well im gonna buy the engien soon, rebuild it over the winter and do several things to it then hopefully have it in spring time :):)

my bros also has a 5 door, lowered 35mm, refurbed sri rims with 185 tyres, in an almost anthsite colour, he has an irmscher splitter, steinmetz rear to go on and is ordering those gsi skirts, hes also got that pi spoiler which personally im not keen on, but its good enough, oh and an upswept zoorst to go on, should be nice when its done also. :)

mav 3000 urs is another 5 door i love. wish id of kept mine and finished modding it.

was going to buy an irmscher airdam front bumper + steinmetz skirts + skirt for standard pre 97 rear bumper and a set of Irmscher Softstars in 16".

Was then going to detail interior with silver spray and eventually change the engine but sadly non of that ever happened.

Kris: Buy the GSI Ones, if you hmm and ah then sell them me and go Steiny :)

although i reckon those GSi skirts would suit the car i feel the steinmetz would finish the whole car off alot better.

remember u dont wanna be humming and harring after they fitted. :o

cheers, was the plan although they are about £120 more than i wanna pay so may just go for the gsi ones like i used to have.

Would also look better if you meshed around the pipes instead of just leaving them.
