You don't need to use camber bolts if your corsa is lowered 60mm don't worry! With your splitter your better off screwing it on! I got a mk4 Astra splitter on my corsa, trimmed a bit out the middle then a few small screws to keep it on the bumper

Well it's been drilled underneath the lip in the corners and on the side by previous owner so I could do it that way because the screws are hidden underneath and in the arch... Just ain't got round to it yet.

Cheers guys. Ok so yesterday I discovered that the head gasket is on its way out I put in 4 litres of oil last week an it's gone. Took out the plugs and they had oil on them to...
Now the car has been fine all day until I took the plugs out... Since then it's like a miss-fire has began all though its fine through the rev range, but when your driving it its got a serious lack of power and acts like its missing. So off to the garage for a diagnostics it went..
So i picked her up about an hour or so ago and as follows:
Cracked spark plug in cylinder 3
wrong plugs, they're out of a golf
One of my HG leads is split
oil seal rings have gone
piston rings need doing
So i put 4 new plugs in, will sort leads Thursday and the rest will hafta wait util i come back from Ibiza end of the month, and the head gasket is fine as is the coil pack
.
And here's the culprit:
On a more positive note I've fitted my splitter.
