everyone is entitled to an opinion. i totally agree with the subtle performance option, but i also love mad lookin cars. i think the lad needs to understand people on here are outspoken and not to get wound up. i found that new kit on stx's site. is £989.

find your regional forum here-
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/forumdisplay.php?fid=30
and ask for bodyshop recomendations, then you can give them a call next week. Also ignore all the unhelpful twats on here, if you dont bite they wont keep throwing you lines.

heres the inspiration you'll need to create a nice car instead of a complete cock up which im afraid to say is the way your going...
still dont like half of these but massively appreciate the time, money and effort put into them all.

or you could adapt any kit for any car. i reccomend gettin a copy of a dimma kit for a 206/106 off ebay. bou £450 quid. i put escort cosworth arches on mine, was by a local bodyshop. the guy has so much talent but the work ethics of a manicly depressed sloth

If you get that kit, be prepared for some things.
1. 90% of people will probably dislike it. If you don't care what people think, that's of no concern.
2. It'll cost a lot of time and money to get looking right. Boyracer2002 has been refining his for as long as I can remember. The major thing is to make sure the wheels fill the oversize arches, or it'll look like a pallet truck on acid.
3. Maintenance. Be prepared for this kind of thing:
(from this - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=275141 )
Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

The new prowler kit looks much better than the old one, still going to be a bugger to fir though!
The PSG2 kit would be an easier option & much easier/cheaper to fit
Can we ease off on the new guy now?  Give the lad a chance FFS

like i said, spend a little time rounding it all up and makin it your own. prowler kit is beginning to look quite dated right now, its people like boyracer modifyin the kit to seperate them from countless others. or just buy the arches and put your own bumpers on

You dont have to get a big & bold kit to stand out, just make sure everything is well thought through & it'll attract as much attention if not more

beginning to see more of cars lookin like that, one example being that red gsi with the tan leather, was very nice. its either an evo 4 or astra convertible next year which will be standard on the outside. saw a nice red astra convertile in a lush metallic red with matchin red leather trim. absolutly loved it.
the gsi/ speedlines debate, i love the look but as a lot of peole mention, they all look very similar. i think this site is slowly splittin down the middle but i'm happy to be on both sides.

well a large majority of people on this site cannot stand cars with fibreglass kits and do not show any tolerance whilst others think that smacking on every little thing from wiper spoilers to fluffy dice is the way to go, and think a gsi speedline combination is too boring. i suppose it would be an 80/20 split though lol. a lot of us are gettin older now, thinkin about more expensive cars which don't require any body mods
