Sorry to see it go mate, but sounds like its gone to a good home!!! Remember seeing it outside college about 3 year ago now lol, looked quite different then, and has definetely come along way since then. Time to move on though, and hope the BM is as unique as the corsa is.

i gave 450 for the full front end, had to travel from darlington to sheffield to safron walden to sheffield to darlington (over 500 miles in one day) in my dads rover with it in the trailer on the back, then put it on the car and it looked gash as the gaps were quite bad, and smashed the bumper off the next day so rebuilt it all
i also sold off my front end for 400 quid, so made most of my money back 
car went for 3420 in end, random figure lol
