Right the time has come to finally show you my corsa. I bought it off neilm on here in Jan/Feb 2006. And now it's finished, well I say finished I mean the bodywork.lol. It is currently sitting in my garage waiting for my freshly rebuilt c20xe to be fitted.
This is how it looked when i bought it (could only find this pic)
Then i changed the bodywork quite a bit. I wanted to be different but subtle at the same time.
I soon decided I wanted the smallest wheels i could fit over my brakes to improve handling and stopping power so I fitted some 15inch comp MO's. And here is how she stands today
Any comments welcome good or bad. Apologies for pic qualty. They were all taken on my phone.

Mesh needs to be black IMO
otherwise looks good

Not sure wheels suit the rest of the car tbh.
I'd have something a bit more special tbh. MO's are the nuts but not in 15" on not on a corsa which has had so much body work.

warreng-side repeaters are morette covers specifically made to fit over standard corsa mirrors, i just smoothed them in

I agree with the comment about the MO's but it just drives soo much better with them. And it feels like the calipers are on the actual wheels when braking from high speeds abs goes crazy

That looks very nice - but the boot lets it down slightly

Thanks for the comments people. I was never sure about the boot either but decided to go with it as it's different and not really done alot, but it turned out to cover the irmscher logo on the back lights.
The car is lowered on FK coilovers (they were on when i bought it), the rear is all the way down with the seats removed so its about -75mm. The front would be lower if I could get off my driveway
