Corsa door strips

Post by Corsa_SRi-x »

I have just recently took the door strips off my corsa, it all went well no pain came off at all, my car is grey and behind there is a lighter grey line behind where the door strips where, is this just fresh paint that needs buffed? can it be buffed and polished in?

cheers :)

agreed it can, but I tried by hand on mine and it wouldnt budge, I had to use a strong buffer to remove it, but be VERY careful doing it that way as you could burn through the paintwork!!!

Cheers i will give it go, fingers crossed..

I have some plans for it just for the mean time, its dark grey and i was thinking of gloss black trim, debadged grill, 16" tinted sunstrip smoked astra turbo wheels and the thin red rubber door strips off the early sri

btw does anyone know where i can get my hands on the red strips?

cheers :)
