thank you my love :thumb:
the corsa ones are spasticated shape any other reason except some things being in the way on a corsa and not a nova..?
they are designed to be direct bolt on. which means bending round the exhaust and everything

£15? I have read a few threads regarding lower braces. Some say they don't do anything and others say they are useful.
For that price they are worth trying.

i may have a go at making something like that on the corsa

Civic or Teg item per chance? Loving my universaly used lower brace pic now :)
EDIT: Evo item?
BTW dont hold your hopes of a Corsa item fitting. And Nova ones fetch decent on eBay, mine were regualry making £40 to £50
Remember a Corsa one wont fix a Nova...

Still wont fit i dont think.
Upper Corsa braces dont fit Nova's unless you remove the double threaded peice completely, an weld the two halfs together. I know that as ive done it.
