ok... the girlfriend is off to paris on sunday for weekend away with her mum, and I've asked her to pick up a few car mags for me (like im gona be able to read french :lol
BUT I can get some good pics of some euro-corsa's (hopefully if any are featured) so get a few ideas myself...
main reason I asked her to get me some mags is im still trying to find stockists of euro-style deepdish wheels, something like 8"wide by 14" rim & similiar...
wana go euro with my GSi, smoothed & slammed...
any other ideas??? surely it cant be that hard to find some wheels like this

i got a couple of mags when i was in spain, even tho they were in german? and they had loads of euro cars in.
i tried to get hold of a few bits too, as most germans speak english better than we do they were keen to help, its just the £££££'s

only prob is its unliekly to be road worthy with really wide wheels as in the UK its illegal for wheels to pertrude from the arches

i know about the legalities of the wheels sticking out the arches but even a mild one shouldnt be too bad! i can mod the arches to fit so should be ok really with anything to the limit
tried the internet, got fed up as cant speak a word in french/german/etc... only bad english

i got a few french car mags last year whilst in nice, french is easy to read as you can pretty much make out what they are saying by pictures etc. Spose it helps being able to read french though
some awsome cars in them

have a look on my website http://www.frenchcorsa.fotopic.net
for the French magazines you won't find euro corsa in there or you're really lucky!
In France most corsa look like Uk corsa (big wheels, big bodykit,neons, etc).
euro corsas are in fact German corsas...
for the wheels contact http://www.reinekeshop.de
they speak English and are very helpful.
they are doing a very good deal actually on RH Cup wheels in 8*14 and 9*14...

I think most people's conception of Euro is very different to what the Europeans are doing now... I might be very wrong here, but almost every car that I have seen that has been modified in Europe has crazy paint, chrome rims, crazy light swaps e.t.c...
