We don't get those front bumpers over here, we have horrible crease things where the fog lights are. Yours looks way better.
Need a pic from the rear, simply for the lights

Wow !
A Corsa Saloon ! It’s not often we see one of those here !
Looks very good !
I have to agree with the guys above though. It would make more sense for a 1.6 or a 1.8 to go in there rather than a 1.4.

Honestly dude, ignore teh X14 and go for a c16/X16XE engine instead. The 1.4 really lacks the torque of the 1.6 16v units and really suffers. Its a great little engine, but the 1.6 is just that much better and pulls so much harder than the 1.4 does at low rpm. Not only that, but obvioulsy it makes more power at higher revs as well.
Plus everything you can do on the 1.4, you can do on the 1.6, and get better gains (be it turbocharging, throttle bodies etc...).
Are you on the Opel forum in SA? Used to use it a lot but not really anymore. OpelBlitz or something.

thanx for the welcome. we get the corsa b lite brand new here still. the reason i was going for the x14xe is i can get it for R2500 that is about 200 to 300 pounds. which is dirt cheap for me. will post more pics soon.
