i have a corsa 1.2 trip 8V, and want to lower it. do i need springs for all fours? or am i able to lower it at all ont eh exsisting springs?
plus i have a matt black bumper on the front of my car with a build in grill, however the back of the grill pops in and out, i was wondering what you think if i was to remove the black backing tot he grill and mesh it out? take a look at the pic? has any one done it before as well?

You need 4 springs, and preferably shortened shocks if your'e going to do it properly.
If done to a good standard meshing the grill surround can look quite good. Better off modding the bumper to accomodate a greill though.

I had this preface lift bumper but I got the facelifted one and meshed the lower grille in that one, aswell as having it smoothed and sprayed. Its suttle styling and looks great, would recommend this as a cheap option to anyone. The only pronblem u may have is colour coding it with that bastard flame red that loves to fade!
