Had the full rieger kit to start on M9 VXL and then switched the front to the airdam. Airdam suited the rieger sides and rear better due to being the same height. M9 even had the rieger bonnet! That was about £500 new, mine was £300 as slightly damaged. Only saw the bonnet on Donnas and a black corsa which had the full kit plus the silly expensive adjustable spoiler.
never found out what happened to M9 VXL, so those parts are knocking about somewhere, although front was parked in the rear of a taxi 2 weeks after selling and as far as in aware it never saw the road again

Anup that was it! And completely forgot that it turned into steve's thundercat!
i think M9 would still hold its own these days, back on 16's tho! Strange that either it as s whole or parts have not been spotted anywhere. Might still be sat in the corner of storage somewhere!

I've got a few on the fotki site under Fav Corsas, Anup. Funnily enough, Fears is on there too . Fear had a good choice of body styling As he said, the bonnets were silly money, then the wife decided to have the extensions added Good waste of money that, looks mega though.
Mine got scrapped and stripped by JR, and we still have Donnas in a lock up, and I said every year for about 3 years that we're going to sell it. I've just had too much on to start the process. We had it MOT'd a couple of years back to get the plate off and it still works. Added some other bits that we never fitted too, for no bloody reason  just because we had the bits lying about in the garage
Sam, that looks really nice. I was never keen on those front grills though. I prefer the steiny skirts too, but thats what I put on mine. Front and rear end looks great though Do you want an OPC badge for it? Found mine the other day, never used it. I also found my Stienmetz handbrake too, that was also silly money. Is that also an Irmscher steering wheel I spot too?
Its still sad that I'd like to have a Corsa B, with my old bodykit, a towbar (for the bike), and 2.0 turbo. I just really couldn't be bothered with the hassle though and I think Lee Mitchell has retired from Corsa

Irmy Central - gear knob, steering wheel, handle trims, centre console, pedals, tax disc holder, door pins, super touring badges, skirts and bumpers, exhaust, front grill, rear lights, original plate holders and show plates (probably more). Also have a Lumma adjustable spoiler which I believe is pretty rare?!
Would love the badge but no spare cash as it's going on my Merc atm!

Oh Ian, nice bumper that  I sold it onto someone on here, can't remember who.

If i had room and my corsa came up i would snap it up! I know exactly what i would do this time! Rather than trying stuff then changing!
just looked through you fotki pics Daimo, brings back so many good memories from the time!
Also forgot how much i actually did to a simple Corsa Sport

GSi is the thing now, its quite boring.
I'd do another one if I wasn't spending money on better things, but if a low mileage clean purple one came up for sale with a top quality conversion, at a good price, i would be tempted
