It wont change the exhaust noise, might give a bit of induction noise though.

where did you get that sticker!!!??? I NEED ONE!
Dave i use to have so much respect for you for what you did with your Nova.
Now what are you doing to this corsa ?
All your doing is making a reason for people to take the micky out of it.
I dont think you want that.
Get back to doing nice mods like you did to the Nova.
At the end of the day its your car and upto you what you do with it but just trying to help.
Chris.
Whats a matter with it ?
its spot on for a runabout.
This is my "Works/Going out with mates/Car i dont mind if it gets nocked or stolen" kinda car, and all ive done to it really is a different exhaust, new wheels, and afew interior mods, kinda' like the nova.
Basically, this car is something i can experiment with, because i dont really want to be modifying the nova to a stupid amount, as that would ruin it, so im sure everyone would agree they would rather me do it to a 5dr corsa than my imamcuulate nova lol
im not going on about the door handles and interia lights it the silly stickers that are going to atract the wrong sort of attention Dave.
Reverse in the wrong place makes baby's cry, get one from a meriva i think it is, its very similar to the veccy one.
As you are correct, i shall remove the sticker tomorrow :thumb:Quote:

Well not updated this in a while
Following the fire at the garage at the end of last month, the Corsa has now been moved to my Grandads house for now, the Corsa wasnt too badly damaged, mainly just sooty and dirty
Anyway, this has given me a chance to get some things together for the car, as im now working woo!)
Soooo, lets get on with it
Picke dup a set of 15" shot blasted Tigra wheels off Twistysnovagte off here, had them professionally painted in "Vauxhall smoke grey" at work and popped my 195/50/r15 rubber on them. Look the business now!
http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02444.jpg
Popped them on, not the best pics as the garage is mega-small and it was raining:

We thought it was as most of the cars in that unit were burnt, but we wernt allowed in so i rpesumed that it wouldve gone up, but luckily it only suffered light smoke damage, now its had a valet (because i left the window down by 2 inches) and a wash, looks as good as before :dQuote:

Fitting fronts tomorrow at 8am, keep me warm with the snow haha
Dont look too bad mate, cant really complain for £80 hey ! Was it stolen and recovered ? As has already been suggested you should deffo lower it ! I know you say that you want to keep it practical for everyday use but -30 or 45mm isnt going to make it unpractical but will look alot better ! My car that i use everyday is very very low and in the past year and a half i've only ever once had a scrape when going out of a very steep sloped car park.
Leather looks nice, Its crying out for post 97 bumpers though!
I join the PNG Nova + Corsa Club today.
Nocked up these rear lights last week, masked out the reverse lense and gave the whoile things a coat of red tint spray, came out really well and look alot more modern now they dont have the orange indicator lense:

:thumb:
Oh and also removed the gay MOMO wheel, and fitted my Calibra one back on :thumb:
The leather looks well.
Right,
Finally ive sourced a -60mm lowering kit, i dont know if ill fit it straight away, as im trying to keep the insurance to an absoloutle minimum, and the alloys wont exactly reduce the cost lol
full kit, springs and shocks like i was after, ill have to photoshop it and see if i like it, because my dads going nuts at me for "modifying it", gawdd, youd think id of stuck a fibreglass chin on the front lol
get it on dave then just leave it as it is!
Post 97 bumpers then thats it! oh and a small spoiler, like a nova GSI or similarQuote:
