Well the Corsa is somewhat of a Prositute (i mean everyones had it lol) its been around about 4 different people just from where i live, and they all ragged the crap out of it. But i think it had the kit on it before it showed up in Ipswich and that was about a year ago so id say anything upwards of about a year? Do bear in mind that it does get thrashed alot and speed bumps and potholes are aplenty around here haha

most of the time the cheap copies use inferior plastic or fibre glass, which can cause problems when colour matching.

also they can be hard to line up properly due to the holes not being in the right place, personally i'd only buy genuine body kits, but you can get decent copies.

But if it's YOUR car you want to take pride over it's appearance.  I'd rather pay a bit more, but come out of my house and feel proud about eh way the car looked, not having some bumper a few mm not flush compared to the other side.

The cheap parts should be restricted to chavvy teenagers that want to ruin the car in the first place :)

Mate I couldn't agree more.  My fiancée and I want to buy a house, but we simply can't afford it at the moment.
