^ To be honest, we dont have a clue what the wheels are! Any ideas anyone?

And tomtom, why not the pro race 2's? What ones would you recomend?

pro race 1s

Just never been a fan of the 2s. I just dont think they suit the shape of a corsa.

Paid 995 for it, with just over 70k miles
Dent in the wing didnt bother me too much, can get that repaired easily. As for the smoke - thats gone now

And yeah, we found the same thing with the exhaust, but it had a new one fitted this year etc. And the fact im going to change it soon anyway.

^ Thats what i was thinking, swaping the wheels over, and selling the ginger with them on.
Whatever they are, they have brand new yokies on them which are pretty much brand new

Yellowness from the engine cover thing, i forgot what its called, the heat resistant pad under the bonnet. It was the same on 3 other corsa sports i have seen, where the engine has got too hot and melted the pad slightly
