Alrighty forum just new here.
Been looking around and there are some seriously good looking cars here.
Need a little help though with my new car it just aint looking good lol. Its a v reg corsa 1.2 cdx which i got for a steal with only 24000 miles on her. Just looking for some advice on what i could do to it.
All thats done so far is a cd player i fitted at the weekend and some speakers which need doing.
Any ideas welcome, Cheers

Hi & welcome to the site, bud.
I had a 5dr once, you dont want to lower it stupidly low due to uneven roads, speed bumps etc myself personally id go 60/40* but thats my preference.
*disclaimer: the number before the '/' is the front and the number after is the rear.  Mod it right and your onto a winner
