think of ditchin 17's as they too big for car :| get rid of body kit with them aswell. what people think?
i could probs get 300 plus for alloys as they only 3 months old.
Then get GSI kit? and Tigra alloys do them gloss black and have roof gloss black?
then drop 60mm all round, cant goo too low cause 4 branch thou
any opinions? thanks

I've always been a fan of going down the vauxhall kit route, I was thinking of black roof on my car to cover up the laquer peel but not brave enough incase I don't like it! I do think black roof would look well on brocade corsa though :D

I've been thinking of getting the roof covered with a black sticker, if I don't like it just peel it back off!

theirs no point getting 1L ones they're pants :lol: get 2.0 16v 256mm discs and calipers they're a direct replacement. they havent got to be drilled and grooved as any larger brakes on a 1L or 1.2 are a great improvement :)
