Hi,

Ive got myself a corsa type b, and im debating if its worth doing that up and driving that around for a bit, or buying a brand new on straight from a dealer next year and doing it up?

Is there any invaidation of warantties etc if you rekit it (im guessin there is but just checking).

depends a corsa b will be cheaper to do as there are alot more second hand parts knocking about, what do you want to do, the engines in the corsa b are easier to tune than in the corsa c, and easier to do engine swaps etc! also as u mentioned u may viod warrenties etc with a new car......
