i disagree on the count technicaly its standard your just swopping bits


but why put a GSi kit on a 1.2 Corsa?

Like a fake cossie. Cossie looks with a sewing machine motor under the bonnet.

Not saying GSi's are fast but replicas suck ass.


so your saying anyone that cant afford a quick car has to have something that looks shite as well?

no. wait till you can afford somat decent. GSI kitted Corsa that's really a 1.2?

what is the point? Just save up an buy a friggin GSi.

Sourcing the bits and having them fitted/sprayed etc, could have probably bought a GSi in the first place.

I have never seen the point in making cars look like something they're not.

Ie:

355 Kitted MR2s. a 2.0 turbo sounds nothing like a Ferrari V8 so what's the point?

so yes then. a 17/18 year old cant afford to insure a GSi!

I think making a 1.2 corsa look like a GSi and making an MR2 look like an F355 are 2 completly different things tbh.

Sorry but for people who like modifying cars, when you pass your test at 17 and your 1st car is a corsa, your not going to drive around in a standard one for two years when your forking out £1500+ for insurance.

Waiting for a year or more until you can afford a real GSI then paying £2k on insurance when you can put a kit on a 1.2 and pay little extra.

I suppose from an insurance point of view. Down to personal preference i suppose.

I personally wouldn't make a corsa look like a GSi, just because I couldn't afford to insure one.

making the car look like something it isn't just seems gay to me.

I'm suprised Escort cossies haven't depreciated so much as there are more replicas than real ones these days.

i now think one of the worst things is black wheels, seeing as ive gone n done it
but on the bright side... it HAS given me a good reason to look into some 16" rims.

lexus lights are shit (had them), wrong offset wheels pisses me off, lowering without shocks, and i think that colour coding odd parts of the interior dash is shite.

the marea rear wiper swap is alright....
