went to donny yesterday to have my zuasts moved to fit in the proper gaps



but when they got it on the ramps they said they couldent do it and that i needed to have my spare wheel well removed as luck would have it theres a body shop next door and he could do it.






he did a good job of it but by the time he was finnished it was to late to get the zausts moved so i have to go all the way back on wensday

hmmmmmmmm, i really dont see the point of cutting away a structual part of the car so to move the exhausts to make it look good

ive see a few cars that have been rear ended that have had well cut away and its awazing what effect it had

but if you happy with it

its just as strong like that. the wheel well was only spot welded in and it had some sort of glue holding it in as well

no its not trust me on that i was going to have mine taken out till i was rear ended at 30 mph last year. was talking to the body shop and they showed me another corsa which had no spare wheel well and it was shocking how far the back crumbled I would say its quite a big structual part of the floor pan other wise it would have a back pannel welded next to it would it?

But as u said its all done nothing to say it wont look good
