Doesnt look that hard TBH, Probably harder than it looks.

But if your vans smashed, and if youve got a welder, Then why not give it a bash

I am so tempted to do this to mine, already have the black headlights but GSI bumper and spraying my alloys White/black is something for the spring. Bonnet looks smart too. Also M3 mirrors look ok on combo's, which is a suprise as i normally hate them.

With regards to the Combos mirror, the M3 is the only one you can fit as they stick out far enough to see past the humps of the back. DTM would look like fine etc but you would see zero!
As for the Tigra conversion, I don't have a welder so will have to speak to my local garage before proceding with this idea. Still need the cheque to arrive from the insurance as well!
On another note I like the M3 skirts on the green one, I wonder how they did that? Normal reiger ones for a Corsa maybe and some heat?

The Tigra idea would definately suit your van. The fact it is orange will only emphasise the fact its had the conversion done.
Have you seen the more upto date pictures of my van mate, looks pretty smart to say its cost very little to do.

No I have not, got a link?
In the grand scheme of things mine had little spent on it but is now about to get a whole heap spent on it.

Not a fan anymore of big body kits but as modified bumpers go, I think this could look pretty good on the van.

Now thinking that the payout that I will be receiving for the van is such that I could buy a Corsa C Combo. Is it wise to spend a whole load of cash on what will only ever be an R reg van?
Do I break or keep?

I think it would be a shame to break it as the rest of the shell is in great condition. The piccture about looks ok but the bumper looks huge. Smoked headlights and foglights and gsi front bumper is what i'd do, basically same as green van above.
