Only one thing that ruins this car...

The number plates, I'd be tempted to get smoked plates or slighty smaller ones, but can understand not wanting to be pulled/fines (£30 for each plate)

Otherwise, love it, Will have a good look at PVS.

Cheers mate! I'm looking at getting a private plate soon so will have to see. I was looking at smaller ones earlier to be honest! The plate I want will have to be illegally spaced anyway I think so might aswell go for a smaller plate aswell while im at it.

Get legal plates made up too, and keep them in the car. At the end of the day, it is only a £30 fine each.

I'd perhaps not go 3/4 small, somewhere in-between perhaps. Hard to picture.

Number plates are always a finsihing touch to a car that make a Huge differance.

Yeah, that's what I was planning on doing, then just swap them over if asked too. I've never been pulled in a year of driving, so all should be okay... I hope

Very unlikely to get pulled purly for the plates, I have an illegal front plate on my Clio, and I could be done for the rear too.

Have I ever been pulled in it? Nope, Have I been followed, followed and sat around with cops around? Yep.

Is it a huge deal being £30? Nope, Spent more than that on stuff I've thrown away.

For once dans got his sensible cap on and I have to agree with him. Looks absolutely fine with them buddy maybe get some pressed ones/gel ones made up so its not such a block rectangle! No need attract unnessecary attention.

Do it the proper way and get a private plate so you then have a need for short plates

Shortened/smaller plates look so wrong on C's because of the recess. Just run a full sized one.

Had an amazing weekend at PVS. Met some lovely people and had a really good look round some of the amazing cars that were on the Corsasport stand. Massive thanks to Ian, Willay, Mike and the crew for the hospitality.

After seeing every chav with a black corsa C and black wheels, I want to take my car back to more of the standard look. I've done a quick photoshop of how I want it to look.

IMO, looks alot better. Changed the wheels to silver, and took the rear tints out. The wheels look a little dull as they were just off a car off Google, hopefully I can get a nice shiny shilver. Also, next on the list mods wise are smoked lights and an Irmscher front splitter.

Yeah mate, they look so much better! And tints are coming out too, after seeing yours and Georges yesterday really my mind up. SRI's aren't staying though as I want some different alloys, can't afford anything yet so they will have to wait. And I know mate, only saw you in the morning, next time I saw you, you were pulling back onto the stand with a car full so I thought you were going home.
