the corsa is going to have a few changes over the next few weeks, mainly a new shell, few new engine bits and a massive tidy-up especially in the engine bay.

im keeping the stripped interior and cage the same, same wheels and exhaust etc... but seeing as the new shell is a very clean star silver one and comes with no headlights or front bumper, should I:

1. make it look like a clean standard looking sport with standard lights and front bumper

2. re-fit the gsi kit

3. what colour will the wheels look best on a star silver corsa?

heres some current(ish) pics:





any opinions welcome

Star Silver GSI's(replica's) do look good, but then theres also quite standard and mean looking which I like. Abdus has a nice relatively standard silver sport.

Star silver with white alloys might look a bit odd. Remember seeing a similar colour 206 witht hat colour combo & it didn't look right

Re-fit the GSI kit.
What's that round thing in the splitter on your GSI bumper?

yes chris, yours is a really nice looking car and I think it looks really subtle and original but mine would then look identical to yours!

Rikki: I would rather people saw it and said "look at that clean standard looking sport" rather than "that fake gsi" I think.

Plus after a bit more thinking I am building it for track use as I dont need a car everyday anymore and the gsi kit makes the car difficult to get onto ramps and jacking it up etc... plus it will add weight
