lastnight it started snowing and was flooded everywhere, so i got in car picked m8 up and went out for a spin for a hour or so.
anyway, was making waves, bouncing off muddy verges etc.
and i thought, if i'd got my gsi side on and had got some sort of splitter i would prob of come back with half my car missing 
so is it worth it? does modifying a car take some of the fun out of driving it?

its unvelievable how different my driving style is in the GSi compared to the old rot-box...
sooooo much more careful now compared to what I used to be & also wash the car near twice a week compared to once every blue-moon on the old one

I did this in my GSI, hit a HUGE massive load of water, its was like a river flowing across the road, heard a bad noise and decided to check it out 200yeards down the road, got out to see i had no side skirts left on my car, 15mins later i was home wringing wet after having to jump in to a river to get em back as by now they had been washed over a 10ft drop in to the river below. lol
Oh and 3CM i was also out last nice, pissing around in the pug, had brake turns very fun, lol

Corsa C's tend to loose wheel arches when going through a puddle

i find that its alright, i even have a cold air from attached to the underneath of from bumper that leads to airbox, and that doesn't suck up water, even when going thru about a foot of water.
