Got the car back from midas saturday!
very very happy with the new look of the car and the subtleness!

Shame the immobiliser and clifford alarm wont let me drive it at the moment!

Huge thanks to rich and tony at midas for sorting the car and the colour!

Think it needs a new steiny/irmscher splitter to deepen the front in the
new year???

Liking it alot, the sides and bumpers look great. Think you are right about the front spliter though!

Not sure about the wheels or the mesh in the back bumper (though it is lovely to a see a complete lack of mesh around the car).

Gsi skirts have been smoothed to the arches, looks so much better!
TBH adam its getting more air than it did before, used to run at 94-96c all the time, much cooler now, got a nice feed to the induction kit.
Yeh the exhuast is slightly off to the left but that will be sorted in the new year!
40mm at front, may try 60 like the back!!

Now options -
Buy the 280mm wilwoods, slightly smaller than i want, prefer to save for the reyland ap's next year!
Fk coilovers /koni adjustables
but private plate its going to be now i think!!

Steve supperleggras were the foirst choice, but i need the handling and cant sacrifice down to 38mm offset!
Sticking with the 17's as speedlines are too common and the softstars would be too small!
have some track day wheels as well though!

i say stick with the gsi splitter as it is, as if you lower it to 60 it will catch on anything and at least its flexible so it wont ruin ur bumper

I like the kit and the other mods that have been done but I dont think the colour suits the new style. Colour suited the old style but this needs something a bit subtler to match the kit

i think it looks soo much better know compared to how it looked!
Colour is lush, stands out and is different to every other corsa!
Its different and subtle but yet effective enough for me!
