Spray the button surround same colour as body, looks good, did on mine and cheap too do as well, could do more and spray your door handles and mirrors, think that would look good on your car, i didn't have to spray my mirrors already colour coded but are gona do my door handles when weather improves

[Li4M]

yeah i was thinking about doing that but taking the badge off the bootlock and doing either arden blue or matte black, handles are going to be sanded down smooth then matte blacked, i really want to do a black and blue theme

thanks for the input jacob :thumbs up:

[Li4M]

thanks for the comment jordyp

if you look about on here youll get loads of ideas what to do with it lol

[Grant L Walsh]

2 Right on that note, I got loads and loads of little ideas. Car is looking good. The only ideas I would give you is spray all the bumpers with black gloss paint if you don't want to do the colour coded theme. Thats what I did to mine but I am having a red and black theme and yours is blue and black like you said.

I would also spray them steelies black or find some nice SXI's to go on as that will improve the look alot. De-badging the rear boot handle is easy to do but need quite a few coats of black or blue if you do decide to, to get rid of the Vauxhall Griffin badge which you can just see. Other than that cars going ace, keep us posted and welcome to Corsa B.co.uk

[Li4M]

thanks mate yeah thats another option but im not sure if it would go with my wheel ideas as im more than likely getting banded or/and flipped steelies and i was going to do them matte black with arden blue splatters on them, thanks for the welcome your cars looking tidy as

[PRICER]

take a look at my build thread mate, mines the same colour,

[Li4M]

coming along isnt it mate ........

least u got a spoiler and that, them wheels should look smart when they on, u leaving them black or not?

interior looks loads better!!!! Transformation and half that...

i would of personally done your interior handles arden blue as your door cards are now black, thats if you already havent done them

[Li4M]

cheers well i'm thinking of getting them gloss black with arden blue splatters on them.

yeh i wasn't sure to start off with about the interior but it has grown on me a lot.

haven't done them may look into getting them done though.
