in my opinion I would go 16s but I think they would look small with that kit so max would be 17s, you will lose performance slapping on 18s

well i was speaking to my boss today and he said best option would probably be to just stick a turbo on the 1.2, run low boost and a thick head gasket just to give it some power and have another corsa which i will stick the 1.6 in and have no bodykit and 16's that seem a good idea?

LOL why not trying quoting on the net and see how far you get with a standard gsi!

Just about every insurance company won't touch you and the ones that do will rape you for thousands! Maybes it's best to keep it as it is (1.2??) and use it like that for a year or so then put the conversion in

Not too sure engine wise mate, would be different to see a turbo 1.2!

to be honest, for a first car, you arent gonna insure the 1.6

your boss seems to have a good plan, keep the 1.2 in for your first car, and do the 1.6 in another shell for a car in a year or so

to be honest though, i wouldnt bother doing anything to the 1.2, its gonna be a lot to insure with a bodykit on it, so keeping the engine standard might be a good idea

as you can see in the fourth pic they had to fill a fair way across to get a flat roof instead of the dip
