I am currently gathering funds and sourcing a decent bodyshop to attach my BMW replica side skirts, Irmscher Front Spoiler, Colour Code my Arches and Smooth-Out my Bump Strips.

You need to insert img then /img rather than pic.

can you show me an example? just using something like http:... for the url just so i can see how to type it to show the pics. Can I not directly paste the image code from photobucket ie [img]http or paste the direct link?

Put a / before the 2nd pic or use img.
Both the above way will work if you remove the 4 *'s.

That looks pretty smart, nice and subtle too
Much better than the majority of modded corsa's you see!

The wheels are indeed KEI Force 10 7x17 on 205/45 Nankangs.

As for the model... it's a 1.2 (Z12XEP)

Wheels look great on a Ford Focus - not so good on a Corsa.

It looks like a patch work quilt IMO. Sorry.

Not my cup of tea at all - and somehow I doubt it'll look any better once you add on BMW side skirts.

I'm curious as to which BMW they come from though?

Pretty much the worst tyres you could ever possibly use! I bought a car which had them on once. Needless to say they were swiftly replaced.

I can't understand these people who will spend £800+ on a set of brand new wheels yet don't bother paying an extra £50 to upgrade to Toyo's etc. and just stuck some scabby taiwanese stuff on.

the wheels dont suite the car, nankangs arent worth having over bald tyres, and bmw sideskirts can only make any car look worse. im assuming they are m3 style ones? no need. otherwise not a bad looking car.

The skirts are replica so not from an actual BMW and i think that they are M3 but not sure. I'm still undecided as to whether I will like them myself but I am keeping hold of the SXi ones just in case.

I have never had a problem with my Nankangs with the grip etc, probably cos its only a 1.2 and doesn't have enough power to make them spin lol. They were however the only choice that I got when getting the wheels, so when I need replacements I will be going for something like Toyo Proxes or something similar.

I know the wheels aint to everyones taste but it's all about what I like aint it really. Each to their own
