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.

Ooooo that looks well nice!! I can't believe it only cost you 450!!!

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?

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.

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.

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

those wheels are no where near worth £150

£50 is more realistic

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

i think some decent black alloys would look good with that colour...also the smoked black lights do look very nice on the gold corsas :)
