corsa td january
heres my corsa td i bought it bout 5 months ago
i then lowered it by about 60 mil and put a vauxhall vinyl on the bonnet and rear quarter
then i decided to see if the roumour about veg oil on the bumpers worked
it worked but every fly and partical of dust got stuck to it so not such a good idea
then i decided to lower it abit more
but because it was so stiff it broke an engine mount and snapped the driveshaft
here is a look at the engine how it was
then after a long search i came across a set of morrets and colour coded a post 97 bumper
also got a straight through exhaust , spoiler and a set of astra gsi alloys got 2 of the painted for the moment
i will post some pics of the engine soon your comments are welcome
pics out and about needs a wash
seats out of a cavalier and stripped backend
new engine bay lay out
moved the airfilter straight on to the turbo added breather filter

Re: corsa td january
hi there mate! I know that my post here is too late and I'm sorry for that. I found the topic here interesting. I'm curious about the tow bar that acted as your parking assist sensor. Any photos and updates for this? I'm pretty sure that tow bar is a good alternative in case you that if you will need parking sensor.
