corsa td january

Post by corsatddave »

heres my corsa td i bought it bout 5 months ago
Image
Image

i then lowered it by about 60 mil and put a vauxhall vinyl on the bonnet and rear quarter
Image
Image
Image
Image

then i decided to see if the roumour about veg oil on the bumpers worked
Image
Image
Image
Image
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
Image
Image
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
Image

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

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. Cheers! 8)
