    pic of current corsa b, just plate of steel welded in

    old one looked a bit better/tidier cos it was cut out in a half moon shape and went around following the line of where it used to be but haven't got a pic to hand

    Bonded and rivited. Due to the full cage and welded strut bar I had no bracing underneath either

    I welded mine flush with a sheet over the whole floor like Burgos up there. With 2 rails under side so its still strong.

    Why not once you've done it, make a diiffuser like flat floor for it, from the end of the seat pan, to the rear panel. That would cover/fill the void left from tank and wheel well...

    I've been looking for a piccy of my wheel well removal but to be fair it's no different than the rest.
    I just cut it out and welded a flat plate in. As for filling the void, I added a small diffuser.

    Just make one out of ally. Aim for around 7 degree angle and it should make a difference. Worst case it looks cool
