awesome! have you got a sub?

[okgo]

Cheeky^^

I like it, but theres something you cannot ever sort on corsas. The arches. they will always look poor.

Like it otherwise, dont like the morettes though

[n90ath]

lol :P no i dnt have a sub i dnt have much of an interior lol

and yer arches would look better if all in one with the cr lol and i love the morrettes didnt like origanal headlights

[deevlash]

I have some spare o's here you go
ooooooooo

[Martin_Hx]

hate Corsa's but that actually looks very good imo !

[Martin Keene]

I quite like that. But please tell me the inner lights have been removed for a reason other than looks...

Air holes for the engine bay?

[mattsayle]

I likey, for a change.

[Carbon-Me1]

Looks purposeful rather thn chavy. Good job

[number2301]

Nah definitely looks chavvy. Especially with the blue sidelights.

[briSk]

blue sidelight bulbs are wrong. otherwise it's good.
if you don't like it i presume you don't like the saxo on here either?
i would never have a corsa and the standrad cars are crap..but you can make them good...that's what modifying used to mean.. and clearly still does to some people...(just because i wouldn't have it myself doesn't mean it's not a good effort). all this chav stuff is quite tiresome when it's misplaced... the wheels are the right size, it's got a redtop, the lights are better.. it doesn't have a faux veilside bodykit..

i like the morettes..S1600 anyone..

what i don't get is which lights use lose? i mean they come with 4 lights. does that mean you have no main beam..or more likely you normally have main beam in the outside pair and the inner pair are additional main beam type lights?

[ironictwist]

Although looks wise it doesn't particularly float my boat, your hearts in the right place though

Whats been done under the bonnet by the way? Cant make it out from the pic O.o

[flattotheboards]

Corsa's with bigger engines are alright imo, ie if a redtop 2.0 is fitted they are quite quick.

I love the rims, they suit the car, must be a pain to keep clean though. But I personally don't like the lights, looks like they serve a purpose though. Function over form like my Mugen wing. You ever ran this up the strip?

seeing as the OP has probably decided not to bother with PH any more..

pretty sure those bbs wheels are off a limited edition astra turbo 'super touring' special edition thing. you could get the same ones on a astra coupe turbo in silver (as an option i think). for someone not generally into voxorls i seem to retain half information about them..!

[n90ath]

thanks for all the comments ppl and to rply to some of the questions asked.

- the wheels are off a calibra dtm edition (come in both 4 and 5 stud)
- the inner lamp of the morrette have been removed to help cooling and cold air feed for the air filter and all the inner lamp does is help with full beam, u still have full beam in outer lamps
- the blue side lights are no longer in there as came with lights i now have bright white bulbs
- engine wise its a 20xe (pre cat) redtop with lightened fly wheel larger throttle body, ported polished head and a mild cam setup. then 4 branch mainfold and full exhaust system
- it hasnt been up the strip yet a not fully finished, still got the interior to do, although the car is set up mainly for track use rathe than the strip

[Demure]

How much power is it putting out then?

[n90ath]

not too sure yet as not finishe dit to have it run on a rolling road yet but esitmates will be 180ish with all the mods
