cutting the springs- FAIL.

Speedlines, mmmm OK, KAHN's? Nothing like the mentioned speedlines & will deffo not give the same effect as the offset will be miles out & you cant go low on them.

Polish the feck out of it, put some decent Sport/GSi seats in & lower it on some GM wheels, maybe some mudflaps & a chrome exhaust tip. Most cost effective method of 'enhancing' it in most peoples popular opinion.

I figured it was a Corsa B?

I dint say GSi kit, merely some decent seats from a GTE/GSi/SR or something. They are a huge improvement to the driving enjoyment of any Nova.

I just put these SR seats in my 1.2. Such a difference to look at & a joy to pilot around corners now.

Speedlines & GSi bumpers are done to death tbh, but if thats your thing?? :thumb:

It seems no cherished Vauxhall is without a nice exhaust which shows you are passionate about it. I like Novas with an outwardly rolled exhaust, a subtle drop & mudflaps which make it look lower & more loved really. ;)

Where in Ireland are you?

Leave it as an Opel Corsa A, dont go putting any other badges on it.

I'm gonna suggest a 60mm drop, fit some side skirts and a nice set of wheels, although they will take 17" wheels, something like Cav GSi or SRi wheels will do nicely.

Keeping it clean and subtle is the way to go.

If you like the khan rsr wheel then there is the option of the masitaly 5 spoke which looks the same as the rsr, if you can find a set.
Gsi kit and speedlines is very common on here but that for the simple reason that it works and looks good. As dod says keep it a Opel, there a bit more rare.
