Here is my Little Bitch as she is called. Low front is fun on the African roads as it is low enough to crush coke cans. Wish has the powered suspension to raise and lower as you guys have in the UK.

Thank you for the comments. The Carbon bonnet protectors and lights covers are about ZAR360 and ZAR150 (div by 12 for Pounds)
It is a skate ramp at a the big industrial expo that I was displaying the car at after Charity Dyno event.

Always like to see Corsas from abroad. Seen some good pics of Corsas and highly tuned ones out there

I know what u lot are like though. Had a great conversation with a SA lad. Roads are empty out of the cities, and people can just drag race etc. He was a nutcase this bloke

It clips on with screws and plastic protectors on inside of bonnet and sides. No drilling or marks on paint. Takes about 20mins in the dark (daft me) or 10 mins in daylight to fix.

Performance is ok and handling is brilliant
Take bends at 150-200kmh in the wet and the Yokohams hold me. Spun on a mountain gorge a few months ago at 165kmh. Close one

It is a bit touchy here. We have just had the crime stats for last year released - just over 32,000 murders and over 10,000 killed in car crashes.
