I was going down the huge wheels/OTT bodykit route like a little chav, then suddenly I had a wakeup call (Thank God) & realised smooth & subtle is better.

I've colour coded the car in all ways apart from the scuttle panel, swapped the 17" Dares for 16" Speedlines & lowered her 60mm, also removed the rear wiper & the sunstrip. Plans are GSI skirts & GSI bumper then it's done. Guys let me know what you think, have I done the right thing, etc. Cheers!

The bumpers look a bit darker than the rest of the car, may just be the light though. Looks good

That would be the light, the pics were taken by my cam phone and I had to 'shop them to even get them visible lol, I only colour coded the black bits not the whole bumper and its a good colour match in reality.

I understand accross the UK many may have speedlines, I don't know any other Corsas in my area with speedlines so its all good!!! everyone apart from Welshdude (On here) has 17s mostly! Thanks for your comment though

without a doubt!

looks really nice! I used to have a red 1.2, looked shoot with the black bumpers (mine were fully black not half colour coded like urs were)
There was another corsa near me that was done same as yours is now & it looked so much nicer, was tempted to do it to mine but had my heart set on getting something a bit quicker so bought the sport instead!

Nah, I know that mate. But in general, most chavs do put shoddy bodykits on Corsa's which look awful.. but that's just my opinion sorry if I offended you. Obviously not all bodykits are chav, if you have a high quality kit on your car which has been done well, it can look wonderful..
