Hiya,
I'm going to be getting a corsa B soon, hopefully one which is already fitted with a combat kit, or something similar.
Basically, what i'm wanting to know is if it would be possible to have the arches and sideskirts off the PSG combat 2 wide kit blended into different kind of bumpers, say the impact kit?
If so, how much would I be looking at to get it done?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Tom

forget gay bodykits, spend your money on colour coding, subtle tints, nice 15's, big fat brakes and a nice TB'd 1.6

I can see your point, but to be honest, it come down to personal preference, and i'd like to have a car that looks different to most other people's. I don't intend on making my car look daft, just want it to look smooth with some nice wheels.
Oh, and a 1.6 turbo would be nice, but the insurance is also something to consider.

lads , its down to persoanl choice , you aint really helping the lad out here
In reply to the original question:
it is possible mate, the arches and skirts are £249 from myself and the labour can differ between bodyshops. but your starting price will be around £400 i would suggest.

Modify.....
: to make less extreme : MODERATE
: to make minor changes
: to make basic or fundamental changes in often to give a new orientation to or to serve a new end.
I thought to modify was to improve upon the original, but some of the vehicles I've seen (not just Corsas) are definately not an improvement.
Like I said, theres no accounting for taste, and hey, it would be a sad world if we all liked the same things.

No, maturity. I might have liked a mad kitted Corsa if I was a young lad of 17, but not now I'm an old man.

 never mind
ask anyone on the site its down to personal taste what each person likes
some people may grow out of things as they get older and more mature yes , but you will still get other who still like the same things all their days and its down to persoanl taste

Ok, granted its personal taste, but as you get older your tastes will change, this is down to maturity.
Anyway, its not worth arguing about, lets be mature about it and agree to differ.
BTW, would you say the owner of this had taste?

Personal preference it is. As mentioned above, i'm not intending on making it into an over the top corsa. I just want it to look how I want it to look, which is hard to describe.
Scott, thanks for your help, I will look into this further once I know more details on car etc.
