thanks for the comments, good and bad

i've shed blood sweat and tears refurbishing these and i'm very pleased with them, they took fookin ages to do...

the car looks how i wanted it to, given that i might be selling it standard soon.

i need to get a custom centre section made as it is too low for the roads around my way... the exhaust was no bother before i wound the front down so i need to gain another 30mm clearance i reckon.

it will be a slow drive to pvs i fear lol

cheers danny the face is 'polished' but it's very subtle, looks more like a 'bright silver'. inbetween the spokes is black and so is the back of the wheel

the splitter is about an inch off the ground, the only metallic sounds have come from the exhaust... i think lol

i'm just glad most of the route to pvs is on the M1 haha!

thanks for the comments

fronts are 15x7j ET25
rears are 15x8j ET13

IF i keep the car big changes will happen, but i somehow doubt it as it's hardly worth it on a 10 year old corsa...

...with lots of work!! metal in arches trimmed, plastic arch trimmed, negative camber and stretched tyres... still a WIP to be honest!

it's actually too low... but i will make sure it gets to pvs then worry about making it 'work' better afterwards if i keep the car

it's 100% standard sport bodywork with black steinmetz skirts at the minute... if i keep it after pvs i will do lots of subtle smoothing and get the interior sorted, all depends...
