cheers, uber clean is the plan and as much sleeper as possible but a super shiny white corsa can often give the game away and the intercooler i got on order isn't tiny, massive or black but tbh performance out weights looks, i just like clean performance!! i just do my thing and people like it or hate it....

I love it! I think I've got the same steelies for my white B. I wanted to spray them white, but from the look of yours I'm very tempted to keep them silver!
