You can buy them from Venom Motorsport iirc. My old Polo Gti had a set fitted.

Its a hard one this pal, as i know the score with the car.
I have the same with my black corsa pal which is why i am giving it to my lad.

I think you could get 3.5-4k IF you want to wait for the right person.

Chopping it up i dont see the return being worth it for anyone, there are far better cars you can but for less and make more of a profit.

Good luck with it pal

This has always been one of my favourites,
I believe that there is a buyer for this out there but for what you may get in return it would be worth more in sentimental value surely.

One of the best modified corsas of all time IMO, The quality of the build is awesome.

This was one of the main cars on the scene back in early 2000's and would be great to see it kept together.

Good luck with the sale - A legend of the corsa / vauxhall scene, wont be forgotten!

personally think putting an x16 back in with standar brakes etc would be a better option, then sell engine/running gear/breaks and beam seperate to pull another 2k ish back. to the rite person i would think you would get 2 maybe 2.5k at a push for something that will be more insurable as a first car than a c20let.

And that would create a load of work that he doesnt want.
Selling whole or stripping would be much easier and more profitable both money and time wise!

stripping is a lot quicker than putting stuff back in actually

i bet you i could have one engine out and a new one in quicker than you can strip a whole car. then theres the case of storing all the parts, an engine takes up a hell of a lot less room than a boke up car does.

Nope, had a lot on over winter this year. Having a house done up, family death, job changes etc. I still need to get it advertised, but in all honesty I've not been down to the garage in about 5 months now, don't even know if its still in there

Sorry Steven, I guess posting corsa related items on a corsa website is just an excused for attention, rather than buying a defender and wrapping over the rust in plastic and telling everyone every little thing you do for internet approval

If you put the effort you do into your puddle driving machine into effort of buying a house and growing up a little, you may find you spend less time seeking unknown persons approval also. Does your mother still cook you dinner and do your ironing? What are you now, 32-33 and still living with mummy and daddy? Hows the school girls? Have you told everyone where you put Maddie Mccann yet?

Its not a personal attack, its the same old rehashed attempts at insults which is about his intelligence level can muster.

Its the same yawnfest as the insufferable rehashed annual posts about how hes closing his fotki account down, and how he and donna pioneered the Corsa modifying scene blah blah.

After about a million announcements about it happening, its curiously still up
