astra wheels would look good!

The acid has just kicked in!


May get some coilovers, not sure yet, as i don't want the height to cause issues.


fucking feels like it has!!

could be a problem with those aftermarket wheels, there probably the wrong offset for the car to go much lower. a nice set of vauxhall or any et49 offset wheels would let you come down to 60-80mm safely without scrubbing.

Some of you may recognise this car , as i believe the previous owner bought it from a member on here. here's my project thread for my 4th Corsa. This time I'm upgrading from a Corsa D to a Corsa B ;)

About 2 months ago me and a friend purchased this Corsa at the hope of making some profit, our plan was foiled when the engine blew on the way home. I have been a big fan of this car for a while, and I dont care for my D. So I deceided I would make this my car. Without loosing out on alot of money, I cant get rid of my D untill next November, and so i have a year to get this looking tip top. Although I'm hoping to have it ready for the show season.










Plans

- Fit a X16XE
- Dbilas Inlet
- Refurbish Alloys
- Make the brakes safer (retaining disc bolt missing)
- Cali Leathers
- Respray Sideskirts
- Remove stickers
- Spray some exterior parts to match wheel colour
- Morettes
- Smoked MHWs
- Rear Airdam Bumper

Thats the general plan, Hoping to get alot done by June/July. Although Progress will be slow at first.


Let me know what you think. Suggestions Etc Welcome.
