This is mine, not sure if it has been cutom built, dont think so though........never seen another corsa with this sort as yet though.

As you can see, plenty of room for the header tank.

i would have thought that would weaken the structure of it, that said you'd be better of heating it up and then bending it but u cud risk twisting it and then it wouldnt fit again....

wats the header tank mounted on? couldnt u bend whatever it is to move it down a bit :O
