i handed cash over the way it is,as pointed out by hesslevtr(cheers for that) it is quite faded,the boot has slight rust around the wiper,the kit is fitted very poorly the sideskirts are holding on with silicone,the bumper is missing a part at the bottom on the drivers side,iam doing panel by panel sanding filling or prepping taking my time,thing im stuck on though is do i want to fit a gsi kit instead?????the spoiler is coming off for sure!! opinions welcome i cant see a very good response as it is a corsa but hey i can take the criticism iam not expecting everybody to like it lol
EDIT:THOSE BACK LIGHTS ARE COMING OFF FOR DEFINATE!!!i was going to be selling it on sunday but iam now carrying it on..
also forgot to say lol...i was offering the kit up today after a little sanding it needs trimmed as it was fitted a good few mm lower than it should be!! that was as tight as i could get it
Interesting to see how it progresses.
not sure what path to go down this isnt an over the top kit but would like to see what people think,its just a 1.4 sri at the moment,itching for a 2.0 16v engine(theres a change for a corsa lol)

Fair play to you for buying it and using it as a project, im sure everyone can admire that if you're looking to put the time and effort into it.
Im a real anti-Corsa fan (Standard), not just because of the name, i have driven a few of them and hated the way they felt and drove.
Im sure with the time and effort though most of the flaws can be ironed out to a large extent.
Good Luck :) Keep us updated
