My corsa B 1.0 2000

Post by GeorgeMorris »

What should i do about the bumpers? Spray all bottom half and back bottom half or leave like this

Also about lowering the car? i want to keep normal shocks, i don't feel the need to spend £150 on shocks for a corsa b haha

Any ideas, stickers, wheels ect

You pick up fk shocks for 80 quid for 4 shocks, if you drop 60 your going to bust the stanards anyway and for 150 you could have coilovers
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

As above you will break your shocks if you lower more than 40mm also you can get a good second hand set for around £60-£70 anyway... I would put a black splitter back on the front and leave the bumpers black :) and get some alloy wheels!

I'd respray the lower splitter black, as for lowering I wouldn't bother with adjustable coilovers unless your going on a track. I bought some 40mm shock/springs on ebay for my daughters 1.2 Corsa cost me £145 stance looked better without any loss of comfort
