It looks like it has only had a set of wheels put on it.

Just needs a full leather interior in it!

Got to admit though, It does look really good!

Mine is lowered on coilovers and its still comfy, obviously it was more comfortable on standard suspension but I couldn't live with the boat handling lol



It was 20mm lower couple of weeks ago but I raised it up again, subframe was catching on everything.

Thats what id like to do and keep the corsa for weekends and summer but need to look into insuring 2 cars the cheapest way a bit more.

Need to give Brentacre a call.
