Other than searching on the Corsa D forums, I can't seem to find anything on these apart form a company from Malaysia.

The corsa D forums reckon that the corsa C whiteline will fit but with modified brackets on the corsa D and the grande punto (Same chassis). Has anyone tried it yet and if so, what sort of modification(s) were needed to the brackets?
 
Forge do underbody braces and they work very well. I recently emailed them to see if they would consider makin a strut brace but they said theyve done tests and the only product to make a difference was the underbodys so its not somthing theyd do.
 
So forge are saying what that other company are selling are useless really then?

Surely the front and rear anti roll bars along with the strut bars and the 3 sections of underbody strengthening is going to make a difference over just the two bars that forge sell? That's alot more extra metal
 
I've looked at the ultra racing website and seen all the braces they've made. Front strut braces are totally irrelevant on the punto 199 as the suspension turret is literally directly attached to the bulklhead.

Rear anti-roll bar seems to make a difference on the corsa D forums, especially the VXR. The rear top strut brace would make a little difference but the floorpan braces and the lower arm brace would be worthwhile. Not sure about the center brace the Ultra Racing sell since its a box rather than a X.
 
I was told by a Corsa D enthusiast that the Sporting GPs are the same chassis as the SRI/VXR models of the CorsaD other than brakes/suspension so anything thats fits the Corsa should be fine on a GPS

You will find that they are ALL the same, suspension setup will be virtually identical apart from the likes of the SXI/VXR corsa D, Abarth and the sportings.

braking setup is the same on the front at 284mm dia. and 22mm thick. Or atleast thats the size of the 1.3 on the corsa and the 1.4 T-Jets.
