Em going to get the spolier flushed into the bootlid and see if i can get like and american style plate recess done in bootlid sorta sank into it with the lights at the top or the new recess so i can take the light outa the bumper and get the bumper top re-textured then.....
Then get corsa c sxi side skrits and get them cut to fit and re-texured and all plastics id be happy at that i would say lol....
And after that interior re-trim probably...
Then get some boost after that mabye...... Love boost
Air ride was 1600

Fantastic looking, plans sound good. Looked awesome when I seen it
Air ride seems a bit steep but worth it! When it comes to changing car can you keep the air ride and fit to a Golf (for example)? Or does it only fit a Corsa?

I think a plain slatted grill would finish the front off nicely, it just doesn't quite look right with the honeycombe one

Id have ta sell it in the corsa as the back axel sort chopped and chassis sorta emm chopped
Just so she would sit lower lol
So cant realli put spring back into it.... At all....
But yea if it was just two struts at the front u could sell the front struts and buy to new ones as the struts have to be made up for the car.... And just use the rest of the kits.... Compresser back bags vavles....ECT
