I have taken my passenger seat out to see how to fit the buckets. I have a pic of how ive left it for now and also i have drawn an image of what i think i need to get the seats to fit. Its an L piece metal bar which i can mount off the origional brackets and fit the seat onto. Any ideas what i can use that resembles this? If not i think im going to have a scrounge at work im sure we will have something. Cheers

Ive just finished putting the bucket seats in but they seem really high because i have mounted them onto the standard runners. We will have to see when i drive it in the morning and it may need modifiying. Ill upload some pictures tommorow too.

Only just realised you was looking at cookie cutters! There the wheel I had planned for mine. Didn't think anyone had done them before on a corsa and nobody shows interest in them either..... Damn it lol

Id thought the same then i saw a corsa D outside PPC at mallory with them on ive never heard of them on a B before though. ive always had them planned for my car from day 1 but when it came to trying them compared to the BBS i prefered the BBS. If i didnt have the BBS id still be trying them.

Thanks Danny boy

Looking at tyre sizes i reckon i could get away with fitting 165/55 15s to the BBS rims, however im not 100% sure i like the idea of loosing 20mm tyre width at the front and 40mm at the rear. Im also not 100% confident with stretched tyres as i do drive my car hard on lots of county lanes.

Front: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=185&aspect=50&diameter=16&wheelwidth=6&offset=49&width2=165&aspect2=55&diameter2=15&wheelwidth2=6.5&offset2=29&Submit=Submit

Rear: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=205&aspect=40&diameter=16&wheelwidth=6&offset=49&width2=165&aspect2=55&diameter2=15&wheelwidth2=6.5&offset2=29&Submit=Submit
