Had the Corsa a couple of weeks now, but not really done anything about de-chavving it,

Pulled my finger out this weekend and got it sorted out,

This was it before....



Not feeling the wheels, wrong offset, and one tyre had a flat spot

Didnt like how it sat either, seemed to sit too high at the back and was a complete nightmare on roundabouts.

Oh and the rubber splitter was missing boo

So now...







Stil got to remove focus repeaters, but some numpty cut the plugs off

Downpipe was blowing quite badly so decided to rectify it by fitting a 4-branch



To compliment the cat back s/s sytem it has on it already.



Gonna be busy with it the next few weeks.

Someone has painted the rear beam and front hubs/anti roll bar etc etc white, and it now looks horrid so the black hammerite is coming out.

Also picked up some gsi skirts for it, Just need to find a bumper now and it can go to the bodyshop

Comments welcome.

Tbh mike, passenger side is gone and a new plug wired in with a standard repeater, but it pissed rain and I couldn't be fucked doing the second one

Cant see both sides at the same time, it'll do till 2moro

White rear beam, that's quite committed colour coding

Looks quite nice now though, never a fan of speedlines but I do like the painted boot lock surround, looks good in white Always a nice touch as well.
