Looking at your tints, I'd say they were about the same as mine? I'm hoping mine are legal, other than MOT time I can't think of any other way of checking.

dessimpson · 17 May 2012 at 07:50

I think it's 12% on the front windows so I very much doubt they are legal? Could just be the picture making them look darker though.
Just have to try your luck and hope for the best.

That corsa is not to bad as far as Corsa's go, just needs raising a bit to sit properly under the arches.

It's not really as bad as it looks, just perfect imo! Here's a picture of how low it sits! Excuse the kerbage

And to people saying no about the engine, why not? It's easier saying just buy a faster car although i've always wanted it done, and to know a corsa would have most things on the road appeals to me a lot! Fun little car to have mines just not as quick as i'd like!

Surely it isn't hough.

I did a bit of reading when you mentioned it and cost range from 4k+ depending on the prcie of the parts and labour. Seems a lot of work to get a corsa to 200BHP, man you could sell the corsa and use the 4K to get a civic type R or some other 200BHP hot hatch!

I can do it myself though, price for me to do it would be around 2K, but tbh i keep going on and off the idea, want something japanese! Would love an EK9 with a B18 in it, lovely! Need to get this computer built first though

Have you ever been in a let'd corsa?

To be fair the one I was in was a Corsa B, but ooooft it was fun!

You can do the conversions for pretty cheap and as much as they get a ****ging on here, they are very very fun.

No mate. I have driven a lot of 200BHP hatches though.

Mate it is corsa C with 200BHP it will have chronic understeer due to the poor chassis and struggle putting the power down.

I can only imagine it will be fun cos it will be so bad!

Why did you buy a 182 over a C20LET Corsa? I think we both know the answer to that

All powerful Vauxhalls are fun because they struggle, thats why I and many others love 'em lol.

Mine look a lot darker in the photo then IRL. The rear window and rear side windows are much darker then the front.

Ah ok. Was following an identical one just a couple of days ago near Bath and was thinking it looked very tidy example

Nice pics, crazy snow in February, I did a couple of trackdays last Jan/March and had great sunny weather!

Not sure on the yellow Ford badge myself.

For sale photos taken this weekend in the sun...
