Damn i feel your pain as i caught mycar on a pillar in a indoor car park (full story in newbie forum) and THE DAY AFTER i picked up my car i was driving along in thunder an emence rain when i saw this big lorry on the opposite side of the road coming along swooping up stones from the road behind it so i tried to get as close to the curb my side as possible but this big stone decides to bounce twice once on my bonnet and once on my windscreen! i was screaming lol but luckily no marks, i have supaguard on so maybe that helped?

 

[vxrdean]

I know how you feel, i got one a day after picking up my car, was just driving on the M/way and one flicked up the side and ive got a lovely mark now

I have 17's with low profile tyres on, and I couldn't really see no difference compared to my 15 steel wheels, which came with the car (I opted not to upgrade, as I already had some wheels to add on). The ride's a little bumpier, but you get used to it, and it's fine.

this company has just developed a stonechip protection kit for the corsa vxr so im sure they can do it for any corsa .

Yeah but when you order the 17s from the factory you get better suspension.

:\ Now I'm thinking I want 17's

Do the 16's on the Design look tiny? If I put 17's on how would it look without sideskirts. or do I really need to consider the OPC Line Pack (VXR kit) also.

They don't change the suspension, do they?

 

[WeZ]

They don't change the suspension, do they?

I think if its a design they put the same lowered sports suspension as the SXi - I could be wrong.

 

[koro_guitarist]

No idea. I didn't think they changed the suspension on any, aside from the SRI.

Well, that's what happened with the C, as I had a SXI+, and it was the same springs as the other cars.

 

[Jonny_SXi]

SXi and SXI + if it was 1.3 cdti or 1.4 16v actually had uprated suspension over the 1.2 on the C. The steering ratio and suspension is changed on the D if you order the uprated 17s.
