i think it was about £4 on ebay with few quid postage
easy to fit, just line it up and stick it on lol, mine peeled off on the bottom a bit though cuz the corsa fuel flap is slightly curved ain't it, so i just glued it back down 8)

nah ain't lowering her due to livin out in the countryside = bad roads, and insurance, alloys = insurance and too expensive. ain't gunna de bump strip it cuz i like the black and red theme, plus the colour match would be so different as my cars faded quite a bit in some places as it is. im wanting to tint my side repeaters black anyway, just need to see if any of my mates got tinting spray spare that i can use, if not ill buy them off ebay. im not making a exhaust backbox out of pipe cuz thats just stupid. if i dont get a back box then yes, i will drill my air box. not bothering with after market steering wheel, no point for a 1.2. the boot is already debadged. and strut braces, on a 1.2? nah thanks, im never gunna drive it that hard that im gunna need strut bars :/ cheers

lmao talk about putting your car down. in that case you cant do anything to it then. i live in the country and my cars amazing even tho its only a 1.2 8v. lowered 40mm front and looks 60mm on the back now with shocks and springs, front and rear anti roll bar, with low profile tyres and its well good for doing a bit of night rallying after a night out! my caddys lowered to a sump scraper aswell and thats well nice to drive in the country lanes at night ;) and the piece of pipe idea for a exhaust silencer isnt stupid, what do you think a centre race tube and de-cat is :P a piece of pipe where the catalytic converter and centre silencer used to be :P

i just don't have the money, and don't intend to spend loads of performace mods on a 1.2 8v though as it won't be very noticeable, the mods cost alot alone, insurance will be a bitch cuz im only 17, and would rather just do some stuff to the exterior to make it stand out more than things under the bonnet etc, would rather save some of me money for a better faster car when i can in a couple years lol.

if you stay in the country you want it to handle better
you would be surprised how much better it handles when lowerd and strut braces on it
country roads can be fun :)

as for the faded parts just attack the car with t-cut or g3 polish will make the whole car same color
may take you time to do it thou
