whack an XE engine in, get it slammed on coilovers, i loved my old corsa on those rims, and the gsi is my fav corsa, prefer gsi kit to any aftermarket items
just in 2 minds as id have to throw £5k + at one inc price of the car, to have it the way i want
other options are chipped punto GT, 106 gti, saxo vts
any thoughts
input frm 2.0 16v owners would be much appreciated

eh your old GSI ojc? I thought u had a silver Sxi?
and that green car was owned by someone else that I can't remember off the top of my head, but I remember talking to them as I was gonna buy their wheels? 
This is giving me ideas - I want more power and can't afford insurance on a 106 Gti or anything, I wonder how much insurance will be on a GSi for myself, what are they group 6?
Get a nice Gsi kitted one, lower it put it on some nice rims and tune the engine a bit

oh. - I do like that Gsi, I like those wheels, wish I had 17"s of them though - only got 15"'s of em on my car. Though they'd make the 1.2 16v even slower

yeh I remember you old black Sxi (think I u2u'd you asking if u wanted to swap wheels for sale ) though the rims look nicer in 17" imo better than in 15 or 16 by far.
I like the aerospeeds - but because they curve in a lot (or curve out?) it makes them look smaller than they are. there's a corsa on here with black RS GT's in 17" - I swear they look like 15"s.
