My Second Car/Corsa

[Grant L Walsh]

Yup, I got mine all from Wilkinsons lol and the primer from a local garage lol

The cans from wilkos are called Multi Surface Enamel Quick Dry Spray Paint Black Gloss and its a Bluey Purple colour all over the can. I have used this for all sorts, my bumpers on my old red corsa. All the trim bits on my current/old corsa and is really good value. Defo do it mate

[Grant L Walsh]

Here is the finished product of the roof lining and trim being painted








and the car just had a quick polish when I finished it. Soon to go back to my house later today




Comments welcome

[Mike_Parr]

Your's looking really nice. Nice exaple of a proper B.

[nath2905]

looks well mate, you painted the sun visor's too?

[Grant L Walsh]

Jordyp - Can't wait to see how yours turns out

Mike_Parr - thanks, I agree with you there, I aint going over the top with mods, I just want it to look nicer than standerd but in some way keep it standerd if you all get me.

Nath2905 - Yer I did. They were a buggar to do. Tooke ages to dry because of the material but got there in the end

[jordyp]

me too lol, gonna go get some paint today and finish, its just the edges of the plastics, and the clips and need to do atleast 2 more coats on the rooflining.

[Grant L Walsh]

pleased to hear it Jordyp

Anyway guys need some BIG advice. I have chance of some colour coded SILVER Bumpers at my local scrappie BUT the thing is, they are on a 5 door corsa b. Will these bumper still fit a corsa b 3 door. I KNOW the front will but will the back :/

Thanx a million

[jordyp]

yes they will be straight fit mate. only thing that would not fit is if it had side skirts.

[Grant L Walsh]

yer cause the 5door is longer soo it can have the 2 rear doors and 2 little windows at the back :p

[Grant L Walsh]

Anyway I have seen this project on this site which I would love to base my corsa on. I couldnt believe I have already put my OEM sticker in the same place! Thats just pure luck lol

This is the best silver corsa I have ever seen, Not over done. Keeping it standerd mainly and just looks soo tidy.

But I aint doing the side skirts, don't like them, same with the rear wiper being removed but already baught an Irmscher Badge for mine

[jordyp]

yeah dans one i awesome like, best/cleanest car on here like. i think the side skirts tie the whole look together imo

[Grant L Walsh]

well I am in a way gonna base mine on his BUT with a few differences like, soo it will have abit of my own ideas soo it won't be exact. Like I am keeping the VAUXHALL CORSA badges but where the 12V badge was, its gonna say IRMSCHER, similar to his but he just has IRMSCHER. He has painted his inside door handles silver and I will do the same BUT I will also get the Vectra SXI Chrome handles to go with that

Also he finished off painting his drums and callipers black and of course I am gonna do that BUT add VAUXHALL in white on the front Callipers

See simular to his but with my touches

[Grant L Walsh]
