...cos I took some pics earlier: Rollin' on 13s ;D The tyre paint was as a result of some drunken party antics at the weekend, but I kind of like it... Shame all four are different makes! Total cost so far: £27.30 (including car ;D ) Rain and alcohol and darkness stopped Fablon action (we were doing it the party on Saturday night)... But I kinda like it as a central strip rather than over the whole roof, so I'll probably continue it over the bonnet and tailgate ;D It could do with lowering, but that would conflict with my urban street-thuggery speedbump bashing antics on my route to and from work every day!

Great start and ACE pictures (as usual)
Keep the stripe only on the roof. lettered tyres look good on the blackies! upgrade to quality fat rubber and do it propper.

I agree with speed bump warrior, its a daily for use a brief i still havent realised properly, i have just had a new steering rack and shocks are knackered, don't know if thats 66k or speed bumps speeding the aging process!
how about dropping slightly on uprated kit? I still need to build summat unbreakable...

I could just chop the fronts I guess and leave the rear, for a bit of a nose-down stance. Hmm... Interesting idea The trouble is, is that I'm loathed to spend however much on springs when the loose change in the ashtray is worth nearly as much as what I paid for the whole thing!

Raising it? Hmm interesting, "gasser" Corsa! ;D
I wonder how much spacers are for the wheels... Keep the stock skinny rims (the tyres squeal hilariously around roundabouts) but push them further out of the arches a bit to improve the stance...

The tyre is a "Stunner" by make, the WTF was added as the alcohol intake increased (not by me ;D )

Mrsigma is on the right track there with rally springs. money permitted, teamed up with wellers and big rubber this would sort the road furnature out and the riff raff!

What about some of that yellow headlamp paint and baffling country stickers in the rear window for that "grand tourer" look.
