Love or hate the style it's modified, this is insanely well done. It's a big yes from me

Yep. Not my sort of thing at all but is certainly looks like it's been done with a lot of attention to detail.

Why spend so much time, so much effort and no doubt so much money making something look so bad ?
Tastes differ of course.

Looks awful irrespective of how good the workmanship is

I think it's actually pretty decent and looks to be done to a standard that many could only dream off. If it's been a Merc AMG or something equally posh as a base car and not a Corsa, I suspect many would be fawning over it. It's also not in the UK and thus tastes and styles are dramatically different to ours, which are on the whole... a bit samey and dull.

If it was a "worthy" base car which had been modified like that I think it would be getting a far more negative response if anything because people would be offended that the owner had "ruined" a decent car rather than an old Corsa. smile

For whatever reason, Stretched tyres, chrome rims and massive speaker installs is never going to be popular on PH, however well executed the modifications are.

Yep. Nope.

And I love a Corsa B. Would adore a black SRi with a red top in the garage, just like my 21 year old self would like.

I'd paint the carbon panels and fit amber lenses but apart from that it looks great and must be a blast to drive. Given the quality and condition that seems like a bargain really.

I disagree, why would a better base car make it more better? You would just have a badly modified nice car.

Expense and workmanship doesn't automatically mean the end result is good.

I don't know, but it's certainly wrong that I know that they're Yokohoma 048's by looking at it! biggringetmecoat

ETA lovely car. That's the first one on here I've clicked on a link with a genuine interest in buying.
