As Above, Looking for opinions / ideas

what would you say / what would you look for in this day and age that would make a corsa stand out at shows? Given the amount of people that own them.

Example - what stood out at PVS and why - what made you look and think 'thats the best car here because'

One off little mods?
colour?
etc

The best cars at pvs were the line up of novas on the novaload or JOV stand

simply because they have all been built to go quickley, that was worth going to the show for

as for show stopping corsa, one built like decs nova

a car that someone has put lots of effort/money into usally showstopping.

weither is be performance/looks.

its rare to have a nice looking corsa thats very fast though, they are all stripped out with no dash etc.

Well personally i wouldnt say his car is outdated,yes it has a kit,but every inch of his car is smooth,it has the smoothest corsa interior ever done and funky stuff like the camera in the boot for the speedo etc.

Still up to date imo.

Donna's is another i think is still a showstopper

stripped out, less weight - fast

i wouldnt spend my cash on a mega spec engine, and then weigh it down with bumpers/skirts

jimmy's and luke d's corsa are true show stoppers mine gets 'nuff attention but nothing compared to theirs.

I think this is mainly because most people have never really seen cars modified in that style, never seen or even imagined you could run a car that low or smooth a car to such an extent.

To make a show stopper you need to create something unique and controversial in my opinion.

the benifit of airflow would be very minimal, unless its an out and out track car, which ive yet to see a track corsa with proper aero mods

only vaux i can think off is darrs nova
