Finally today i fitted them, tried the 9.5mm and well, no. Unless i raise it which i ain't then they don't go. So i put 5mm ones on the rear and well this is how it looks. I can tell a differance but thats just probs me. Anyway went a bit overkill on the photos. Car is a tad dirty even tho i gave a quick lance. Will be proper washed polished and waxed tomorrow.

Anyway here is your picys.......

























Oh and i made a little vid might be a bit dar but hey i had a go

Little vid i made

Let me know what you think.

Wheels look like they sit spot on now

What about bringing the fronts out a tiny amount too? or would that cause rubbing issues?

Would rub my friend. I think me personnally its spot on now. No rubing at all fronts or rears and has a nice stance. by the way.

Mo i think its something to do with what the bumper is made of. Its the same on any other corsa the front bumper looks different but i can assure you its not.

Very good cheapish mod mate, really needs done to my leon

I had 20mm spacers on the rear of my ibiza and it made a massive handling/looks difference

i think tyres with more of a stretch and the bigger spacers would to the wheels far more jusitce.

looks very tidy though fella

at the brakes at the front behind the wheels!

I still feel this now looks a bit "boring" though

I feel little things such as smoked side repeaters, rear fogs and smoked facelift lights will make such a difference, and maybe tinted rear windows SXi+ style.

Just my opinion anyway

+1 it looks very clean and mint.

but....

to pull them wheels off it needs more detail to the car IMO, some smoothed bits would make all the difference or as said smoked headlamps etc....

just something a liottle bit different

Tyres i was thinking the same yesterday would be nice to have a little bit of stretch on them.

As for the bodywork its staying as it is for now. The installation of the seats is where my money will be going next so bodywork can stay in the mint state that its in. Smoked facelifts i feel will just add to the dark grill bits at the front and wil look over the top imo. Its nice and subtle now and doesn't draw the wrong kind of attention so i'm happy.
