well the corsa has been sat at work while i fitted a new sump so i made a few calls and managed to get myself a set fo irmsher softstars for a very cheap price,

so then needed some new tyres.....195/40 seemed like an ideal choice so on they slid and the combination was bonded on, while it was on the ramps i decided to fit my sportex back box and new centre section aswell....

And i must say the exhaust is nice and tame no big growl just a nice tone in mid revs. am well chuffed

Looks good that. Softstars are ace. Think standard rear lights and spoiler would be better though

Loose the rear lights and normal numberplates and that will look spot on.
