Fair do's. Well adam-d's old sport had cesaros and his was dropped about 35mm. It looked great!
Basicly, you just need to drop the arches towards the tyres.

Hey lil_miss, liking the project so far, and £450 for that respray is a bargain.
Its unreal how much a decent set of Vauxhall alloys and lowering makes a car turn from a granny motor to a nice sporty looking corsa (and the same with most cars really).
My little corsa is lowered 55mm on PI shocks and springs with Vauxhall Alloys, with all te black trims (as i wanted to keep it red & black to break it up abit) and it looks about right, no rubbing, no hassle over speed bumps etc
Anyway, keep up the hard work and keep the posts & pictures coming
Thanks, yeah i wanted to keep the black arches and parts of the bumper as they are because it would just be a bit too much yellow if i colour coded them haha.

Mine needs re-spraying, i wanted it black with white alloys then white with black alloys but now i'm just thinking keep it blue.
I want all that plastic poo off my car though like the ones that go across the door. Did they take you'res off at the bodyshop?
Thanks hun
Yeah they did it for me though i was going to do it myself. I de-badged my old corsa myself and was going to de-rubstrip the sides but i crashed the frigging thing!! lol
Thank you for the comments everyone!! Will just see what happens with lowering it because i dont want to lower it LOADS or not lower it enough... if that makes sense.
looks good not keen on jap cans on corsa's but that looks good.....calibra alloys would look good cnt find a pic of the wheels id put on there if i was to stay with vauxhall alloys but got like 3 sets of wheels sitting in the garden that have all been on my car at some point but never looked right to me personally

i dont think anyone is but i like it. Oooo what wheels u got?? would any suit my car?? lol
ill take some pics in the morning and post them up for you need a lil bit of refurb but i can do that for you...more my dads wheels than mine so what ever price he wants for them unfortunatly lol but he wnt want to much for them think he jus wants shot of them tbh....pics up on tuesday for you
yea they will look good on a corsa ive seen a couple with them on and they look good....if you was to spray them up black they would look the dogs with the colour of your car......they will need tyres on all of them got them off a scraper that i had as a project that went tits up lol and guy we bought it off had it sitting for 2 years walls jus cracked making them useless....
ive also got a set of spax 40mm lowering springs that have jus come off my corsa as i see you didnt want to lower it too much
these are the vauxhalls wheels i have......
....my dad wants £150...prob open to some offers though so if you want them make me an offer and ill see what he says
ive seen them go for £250 without tyres and in worse condition that those so £150 aint that bad and my dad would prob settle for say 100-120 something like that
