He was on the PVS stand last year, his rear wheels weren't broken though.

Surely as soon as the rear suspension moves the actual alloy is going to muller the arch?

Don't really get this stance/scene look. But to be honest I never could understand the rat look phase either.

Alot of cars are sitting like this that are on air now.
Some Vag boys do it to the point that the paint is missing on the lip of the arch.

i'm good mates with dan, he's a proper petrol head and has all the right reasons for taking this route with his corsa
he's a vauxhall boy through and through, not interested in buying a vag just to fit in - he wanted to prove that you could take a vauxhall and modify it and get noticed amongst the sea of vag cars out there
this is considered by some to be the best corsa d in europe, like it or not, it has drawn plaudits all over the interweb
his longterm project is going to be very special aswell, he loves his rwd retro vauxhalls

still very low, maybe 15-20mm higher than in the pictures, if that
it's a very well engineered car, it took 1 month to build the air ride, and get it sat like this, it's all bespoke using the coilover struts and custom top mounts to get it this low - nothing about the suspension is off the shelf

I think for me a couple of little tweaks with where the wheels sit in the arches and it would look ace. It does look good now, its nice to see something fresh with it being a new car.
Id like to see if its possible to go down a similar styling route with my car but still keep it a good drive.
