Right, time has come I need something reliable, and I just dont have the time or any money left to plough into this corsa..
So will post this up, see if theres any interest really.
Spec is as follows;
-Corsa Breeze (originally a 1.2 8v)
-Sport 1.6 16v engine conversion - engine has started smoking quite a bit recently, had a C16xe rebuilt head fitted, so its the piston rings)
-F13CR gearbox, good nick, only fitted it a few weeks back
-Piperx induction filter off an MG
-Nova Turbo custom backbox
-Spax shortened shocks front and rear, damping adjustable, with jamex 60mm springs (very low)
-Depo smoked headlights
Cobra monaco bucket seats w/ sparco 3 point harnesses (buckets have a couple of tears here and there, nothing major mind)
-Wolfrace strret octane Eurosport alloys, bought these new a few weeks back also, no marks at all.
Would like in the region of £1200, but am open to any sensible offers
Once piston rings are done, car would be perfect, pulls like a train just smokes quite a bit. MOT'd till december

£1000 with rings gone. Went to Vauxhall and was quoted £200 for a set, but i've also been told on here they're just over £100 trade price.
Alloys were £360 about 2 months ago, got loads of tread, and the shocks/springs cost me over £350, so cant let it go for less than that really.
I'll get some new pics of it when the weather shapes up a bit 
Whittie, it looks the same as the pic jas posted, just with different alloys really

Since I was told £200 for a set from vaux, I thought fuck it not a chance, i'll live with the oil burning. Since I fitted the skimmed head on the increased compression ratio seems to have made it a fair bit worse 
Did find a website with them listed for £117, but do you think I can remember what the URL was

Already got a runaround my old 1.2 8v 
My Ins. policy on this corsa runs out on 21st of this month, and It'll be off the road from then on. As said before, MOT'd till december, and Just put 6 months tax on it, comes with new alloys, ect ect ect, smooth boot (welded) or standard one up to you.
For £1200 it will have A GOOD NON SMOKING X16XE ENGINE FITTED, (not the smokey oilburning one thats in it now.
45_cb, I know it needs time but I just dont have any, with the summer coming up I'm working days and nights and yes the downpipes been sorted
