You ever had any problems with headlights misting up? My drivers side one does after I've washed it  thats why theres no pictures of the front from that side 
Thinking of putting clear sealant round to stop the moisture getting in as they obviously aren't sealed properly!

Me too  any news on ya sideskirts Matty?
My sideskirts? Haven't had them sprayed or fitted yet if thats what you mean. Want to wait till all this salt is off the road before the bodywork is done
Yeah, that's what I mean - you are getting GSi one's right? When do you reckon the salt will be off the road by?
Had the full GSi kit since last September. Think I'll get it all fitted around March/April time

Hadn't really thought of that TBH!
Still want everything to be easily removed if I need to when I sell the car so not sure if thats possible  Could just be another thing to possibly crack though?

Yeah Brads old Corsa looked good but to carry it off properly also means smoothing over the jacking points on the sills which I dont really want to do...

Its definately getting the GSi front as I've wanted it for so long now ever since I saw this car 
As soon as I saw that I decided my Corsa would be similar so within 2 weeks had bought the full kit! Now its just a matter of spraying the stuff and having it fitted. Only thing I'm unsure on is whether to keep original GSi grill or have it modded so my FK one fits in?
The mudflaps are genuine Vaux ones, they are the ones that fit with the GSi kit which is why I bought them as I knew I was going to be getting the kit eventually Might change the back ones to the smaller vaux ones though

A place called Batcars at Carlisle. They do show cars mainly and they bought a Corsa GSi to strip for the engine to go in a Nova. Most of it like interior got thrown in the bin apparently and the kit was heading that way too but I heard about it and went up there as soon as I could to get it!

Had new tyres fitted today so went to pick it up at 5:15. Drove to the petrol station afterwards to check tyre pressures. Noticed the 1st wheel was scratched quite badly when I was undoing the valve 
Stopped doing tyre pressures and went to look at other wheels. ALL of them are now scratched
Gonna cost me more money to put right

I dunno if someone else did too, but I definitely posted that black Corsa pic on here ages ago!
I was almost gonna buy a black 1.6 Sport to do the very same thing. But at the time the pic was posted I think everyone decided they wanted a black GSi then!
If I ever bought another Corsa B as a toy I'd still do it like that

hey matt, i think your corsa looks low enough to me, cant believe they are only 30mm springs.
i got 40mm g-max springs and dampers on the above pic, and it aint as low as yours, mind you they have only been on about 2 weeks, so not sure if they will settle down further or not.
