Hi every one, just thought id show you my daily run around!

its a 1.2 16v comfort, 1 previous owner. it had 21k miles when i got it, it now has 54k! ive done all the bits to it for less than £200 so its a bit of a bargain! its now got corsa sport alloys and brakes, full mongoose exhaust, full G-max -60mm kit and a badgeless grille!

i also have a track focused corsa vxr but i love the little red one!

here it is,

before

i ant got any pics of the brackets i made but its not too difficult, just L shaped brackets with profiles machined out to lose a bit of weight and if you use radially mounted calipers its miles easier incase your measurements are slightly out so you can space them out accortingly!

with mine now, if i made some spacer plates i could put 345mm vectra vxr discs on no problems but would need complete new brackets id they were conventionally mounted!
