Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
Well the car has failed the mot today and it seems to be a lot to do with the coilys:
So at a loss at the moment, looks like she setting stripped of her parts and cut my losses with it.
On the other hand I received a parcel today:
Wonder what it could be...
Now obviously with the car now being stripped in two minds weather to keep the GSI bumper with spots after trying so hard to find one...I've all rest taken the immy splitter off to, and there's a plan in motion to take out the lump on sunday.

Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
Find a pre97 8v car, non runner for really cheap and throw the 1.6 in it and the bumper its a straight swap, dump the air con to save even more money
Or if you know where theres one that is going to scrap buy it at scrap price

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
It really isnt as difficult as you think, if you buy a 8v the dick work.is done as everything just plugs/bolts in, do understand why you wouldnt want to though

Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
