Alrite, I've got a '93 SRi with the facelift bumpers and all colour coded. When i was preping the bumper i ripped the rubber splitter on the front so i'm wonderin wat you lot would recomend as a nice splitter. The type i'm after are off standard cars E.g. A renult laguna (Are these difficult to fit????)
Also i do want to put a set of 17s on when i finally raise the funds, wat would you lot recomend? i was lookin at a set of wolfrace ikon +'s, any pics wud really help. Cheers

17's what ever takes your fancy...Make sure ET45-49 though..
better with 16's if no kit.........handlong etc 100x better too.

That looks klass How much work was it to get it to fit cos the corsa must be a big size difference to the seat? Also if you don't mind me askin m8 how much did this cost you (i assume it's your car :boggle from the seat dealers? I was goin to go for 16's but for the price you pay you can get 17's and the 16" tyres are about the same price.

was my car..Sold it a few months back.. Bought splitter from Icy, but about £20 fae seat.
Took a bit of time to fit..Cutting both parts in middle and edges but not too difficult..Just need patience and time. More pics in garage m8..
Corsas will always run better on 16's. No tramlining etc..But 17's for looks alone...........yeah not much difference in prices though...

Cheers m8, when you are measuring the splitter to fit on the corsa did you just hold it underneath the car and measure from there? Also how did you re-bond the joining pieces together without making cuts visable? I could really do with some sort of guide for this so if anyone has one????

Just held it to car and measured..But didn't cut too much off at any one time...
Once I had the size about right..Done one side at a time as it's in 2 pieces..Even drove about for a bit with onlt 1 side on
Can screw the side on..edge of bumper..there is small lugs on this splitter that if you cut down go into original holes from OE rubber splitter..Once one side on and secure done other side...Bonded from back also to make it really secure.. Used a bit of splitter that was cut off to cover join in the middle. Bent it round shape of splitter and screwed through.
Hope this helps a bit..Hard to explain..Took me a while to get it all fitted up correctly and securely.. A bit trial and error at the start...
