I know its not a Corsa, sorry

I buckled the standard ones so I thought I better make it look different if I was spending money on it!





And the bumper needed painting so while the can was open I fancied a looooverly new Irmscher lip spoiler

No its a slightly different fitment, the chaps at astra-sport.co.uk are well clued up, its well worth having a search about on there.

the style of the wheel is ok, kind of suit the car but the large area of metal around the hub center make them look like wheels bought from a local motor factor

A few people have said that Ross. They're the only BBS wheel that haven't been done to death on VWs and the only ones I could get in 18" at 5x110, and I bloody like them

18s was a wise choice as it looks tip top

Please tell me it wasn't another roundabout, like with your ancient racing-green Corsa!

New wheels look good!

No when it was serviced they had it on ramps and spun one and the inside lip wibbled about muchly. They said two were like this, and I'd kerbed one parking. I needed to do something drastic
