He charges £2500 for the conversion, seen some of his work.

yea you can run 15's but only on some alloys, and even then you are like mm away from the rim. and on some alloys you have to remove the wheel weights so as to get the clearance.

well, it definatly had 288mm brakes behind 15" softstars, just cleared. (bit low for 16's i found) personally i liked how it looked (a bit crappy) people wheren't expecting what was powering it.
I no longer have this car sold it a fair while back but thanks for the comments anyway, if i had kept it would have sorted the outside etc but hay ho. I am now working on a new corsa b project anyway amoungst other things.

The handling wasn't too bad but really needed new shocks that i never got round to doing.

The induction scoop did look a bit crap but was an attempt to help with air feed to open induction filter/hot running problems etc. certainly seemed to help but if i had kept it would have disgusied it! :lol: needed a new front bumper anyway as you can see!!!
