A few peeps have asked me about this so here you are!
If you have a corsa b that is lowered around the 60mm mark you will find that your wheel fouls the little plastic nuts that hold the rear spats on
I had this problem this is what I did, it gained around 5mm clearence and hence no scrubbing!

parts used

4 x self tapers vauxhall part number 11038798
4 x speed clips vauxhall part number 11086792







I removed the bolts from the spat and using pliers slotted the speed clip in the groove. This is a really tight fit!
You dont need to do this on all the bolts I left the first one in near the rear light then the next 2 I used the speed clip, the next I removed alltogether then the rest down to the sill I left as is
Time taking roughly 15mins a side





feel free mods to move this to tutorials
