what doya reckon. there is just one more mod i want to do to my car now to have the styling sorted which is to lower the back 80mm which will probally be happenign next month.
the problem is i dont know what to do with the car after that. i was planning on gettin a mk 5 astra in september when i turn 19 but im also thinking it woul be fun to xe the corsa.
just really wnated to know peoples opinions on this after having done it and is it worth it? How much would it cost to get a decent job done?
the car :
cheers
any help appreciated

I think the general guide budget is normally about £1500 for an XE

Then you need to add on insurance, and if your 19... its not so great 
And money for things when they break

XE will be the best and worse thing you will do.
Selling is just pointless, Waste of money swlling it for an astra...

I took me a day to put mine in then the rst of te week was awaiting a power steeringbracket.
I'm still fixing the niggles though.
Dont frget, people are giving up there own time to do this with thre own tools and alo sometimes provide he egines which will include a delivery charge of somesort.
If people moan at £1500 then do it yourselves

Why not make a PS bracket??Or did u buy the fitting kit,mounts,shafts etc??
My mate makes all his own mounts/shafts etc included in the price.
