that shop looks excellent, but it would be practically undriveable as suspension wouldnt beable to raise and it sits well too low!

i know what you mean, the door handles at least i have done something with those, smoothed those in well before everyone else had them done so at the time was kinda diff then cant be bothered changing those now. As for the filler neck it was going in the roof but didnt want all the piping on show which was going to be hard to hide  then decided to put it in the window but ran out of money before it was painted so the price of a sparco filler cap at something like £90 and then getting a window cut or perspex one made and cut was too much hassle and money at the time.

i could do the arches like that to curve round the wheels and it wont be a problem with the hydros it will still go up and down, however i have struggled to get the rims onto the car as between the front of the arch and rear bumper the wheel is bigger than the space the fronts "just" fit in but once moulded round it will be impossible to get the wheels on and off haha and also turning how would i manage this???

If they curve round then the arch wouldnt fit past the wider part of the wheel further up, so couldnt get much further up.
I looked into doing the each same thing on my civic but we couldnt find a decent way round it without making the wheels sit too far into the arches!

sadly you can't say anythign I've spent on my car is a waste.
so how much have you spent to make your car look like that
Just face it lots of people have more expendable cash than you have, its a fact of life - what he does with his money is of no concern of yours, if he didnt have it or needed it for other commitments then he wouldnt have the car. He has the car, he has spent the money get over it you old git!!
Car is looking stunning BTW - best UK corsa B with the quailty of work to match
to be fair I have expendable cash I just spend it other things than cars.
as for what he does with his money I never made any comments about what he should or should not do with it.
as for the best corsa B, sadly not
