yea, looks good, different. done a decent job with the filler as well. i think i would have gone for new bumpers too, or possibly even some extensions, to complete the look, but if thats teh way you want it.
it's good to see people slowly startig to go down the wide look again, that's what we're after with the wife's car, been gettin a lot of negatives about it, before the kits even been bought!! lol!!
your call will look sick in satin black though, good work, keep it up

what are you going to use for turn signals now then? because you need turn signals on the sides to pass an mot, unless you can see the front indicators from the side of the car clearly enough. which on a corsa i dont think thats really possible, or if it is, its not very clear to see at all.

a car in Europe needs indicator side repeaters to meet with a law called "Construction and use regulations" which specifies what can and cannot be fitted to a vehicle and where it can be fitted.
this regulation states that indicators need to be seen from the side which is why when cars are imported from the US or ASIA they need to have modifications to make them legal to use in the UK, ie have repeater lamps fitted. unless from the side of your vehicle you can CLEARLY SEE the indicators on the front of the vehicle then you dont need them in the wings, BUT if you have them built into your mirrors, you dont need them on your wings obv.

A corsa will need side repeaters of some kind as you can't see them all to weel front or back when looking side on. Also, Please don't get M3 mirrors, they don't even look good on an M3 imo. I'm not trying to tear your car apart, I mean if you see mine, I'm all for going against the norm, I just think so far the colour choice, wide kit, rear lights and M3 mirrors plan all sound .. well done before to death. Theres some trick flat colours out there that might work out for you. A flat blue or yellow could turn this into something you don't see everyday.
