i think maybe because its the cheapest avalable, theres 2 lads at work both with combat kits on,
one looks nice ish *black sport* the other tacky, like a sicky yellow colour and they are both for sale
ones £2k the others 3n half
i do like the RS kit for the corsa, but i still wouldnt buy it
i agree with you tho custom kits are they way forwad aslong as they arnt too silly but for such a project u need time + money plus the tools and skills to make your own molds etc etc
i much prefer a more euro look nice and low big rims
like the kit on the GSI its pretty bog standard but it looks well, also as the GSI is quite a rare car,

maybe go for somthing like:

or the irmsher kit

yea that nova dosnt look 2 bad, iv seen worse
only thing i hate about nova is the rear lights look stupid and those rear archers remind me of them old citron cars it needs to be an actual arch i say, looks like the designers rushed to finish it off lol

wot do ppl think of sam's new car the yellow corsa, with the kit etc, he had a blue one but sold it, i think that his yellow one is pretty gud, not too much done just exactly how i want mine really but i am considering the rs kit on mine instead, not sure though,

the nova is ok, not my type but yea see what you mean about the wheels only suiting the nova, lol the GSi kits are soo hard to get hold of but i dnt know there isnt really anything that hits me in the face when i see a corsa with GSi kit as it just luks normal, lol anyone agree?

si love the nova good classic not to in your face just right smooth modded nova that looks the dogs and yes also agree that the cav gsi rims dont quite suit a corsa as they do the nova.

im glad you didnt all slate my car then lol was starting to pannic.

i think if you keep it simple you cant go wrong and other thing i am going to do with my car in tint the windows mybe a few bits inside it and thts it,

most ppl will say they hate our colour car 'it looks like sick and sweet corn and all sorts'' but if you get it right they will say oo actully it dont look to bad. typical ppl hate anything other than black or silver so dont be afended by wt ppl say about the colour they are all just sheep. it is good to be different.

take si or example he got a 4 door corsa and every1 will say on this forum 4 door corsa's look poo but si has shown us all that if done right and not over the top it will look perfect so any1 who says they dont like si's 4 door corsa wants shooting right bang in the face. looks just as good as any 2 door if not better,
