no its does'nt adge due to it being so curvy, if you have sharp edges like a rieger rear then the rule applies with deep front/skirts

danny w that green gsi this is the bumper off that car the guy who owned that luke lives bout 1/4 mile away from me and he split his car while ago.

he used this bumper with gsi front and steinmetz skirts and works really well ADGE

Yeah thats the one, remember buying some corsa c sxi alloys off him/his other half.. small world ay? worked well with the GSI kit & steinmetz skirts like you say.

Have you got a lot more planned for your motor? or is it coming together quite quickly now?

front bumper on.......

however i have comes into some problems, car wont start on the key, can bump it down the street first time and it runs ticksover lovely, so hoping its starter motor, if its not im clueless as to what it could be wiring has remained untouched aswell as the earths and since hitting the starter with hammer it made funny noise as if it wanted to engage....... and made all the electrics on the car go nuts lights on the dash fading and the central locking going mad then it stops after fews seconds and everything works fine.......... lol fookin thing

The front end looks Ace! such a nice tidy car!

Not too sure what the problem is but starter motor sounds like a good place to start to get it running

CAR IS ALIVE I REPEAT the car is alive lol, after much messing around, we changed the starter motor/cts and finally fitted new battery today and it kicked into life first turn of the key yeah lol

well now ive sorted this it needs the brakes sorting out now as i think me and my mate killed the master cylinder when we bled them as the peddle is mega mega spongy when the engine is running but brake pedal is solid when the engine is off.....

new tyres for the front/number plates mot/tax and few little niggles should see her tearing up the streets again........

I noticed in one of the early pictures, that you've got one of them eco-tek things in your brake servo line, it maybe why your brakes feel crap. Looks nice by the way
