wideest wheels? as the normal are thin
how much would a new lick of paint cost? as mine is goin pinkish in parts ( red corsa)
were and how to install the clock center console as i dont have one suprised as i got a so called top range merit

just want it to look and go like shizzle with your help

it all depends on how much cash u want to spend mate !!! and i could have it beeting ferrari's

paint job is any where from 600 - 1200+ depending on the finish and type of paint

an engine if ur lucky will cost 250ish for a xe or 600+ for a let as there gettin hard to come across and even then thats plus fitting and other parts such as hubs drive shafts etc

in the near future am going for a 8v only 130 bhp but more than enough in a corsa

AS i said it depending one what u wnt to use it for

Red is notorious for fading, save yourself some £££ and T-Cut it.

how much is this t cut stuff then? sound the better option
