I need my fellow Corsasporters advice, Ive had so many idea's running through my head and cant really make my mind up so I need to know what you think?

Basically Im looking to take my Green Corsa off the road soon once my new Sport is ready, and whilst its off the road and will likely be off the road for a while I want it to change, both looks wise and performance wise.

Performance wise I am probably going for a C20XE Conversion done proffesionally, Its been done alot but its a safe bet if you get what I mean and I think it would really suit the car and finish it off.

But its Looks which Im having problems with, this is currently how it looks:

And more recently with the FK smoked headlights fitted.


I used to like the way it looks but Im gettin abit bored of the styling both interior and exterior wise and fancy a change.

So what do you people think would look good and fresh exterior wise?

The only things I can think of are Gsi and Irmscher Airdam Kits? Both have been done before but I have the advantage of having the colour car I have, and considering Im going to go for a respray next year in the same colour to freshen it up its a good time to start changing things.

So what do people think, Airdams? Gsi Bumpers? or something else?

Ideas and Opinions appreciated

Its styled perfectly without the morrettes now, you dont need to change anything - there are a lot of looks out there but not many like yours and unless the look you want its original then have a think about things that have been done to death.

how about antracite rims with bumper tops and arches to match?

Colour code the door handles, maybe c/c or remove rubstrips on the doors - could maybe try colore coding the arches/skirts and do the wheels black or anthra as mentioned?? Id smooth the extention on the front bumper in aswell, get some photoshps done and see what u like

I think put the Morettes back on then get them done in a smart, pewter grey colour along with the sides, arches, rub strips etc. (anything thats black now) The glossy paint will look awsome. With those Morrettes, bad boy the bonnet but only the lights and keep your Kmei(sp) grill. Fit an XE with some good stoppers, paint the calipers red. I think red calipers behind some smart wheels really sets a car off.

Don't think you could change much to get it looking any better but if you want a change, thats what I think anyway.

If your bored with it and want to change it, why not look at selling it and try another car?
