right small update, added mudflaps allround, those gm ones, not a fan tbh so gonner get standard ones ones to go on the gsi kit, added a decat pipe and just an exhaust tip i got given untill i get a system,

dunno what to do tbh, rattle can the kit, or sort out my bonnet then get everything sprayed :S how much am i looking for a full outer respray ish ?

a full re-spray?? doubt you'l get much change out of 1k and for mudflaps get standard post 97 rear flaps, but as for front ones they done make them for corsa GSI's as the skirt stick out further than the body does. and as for exhaust system i'l have one for sale thats on mine in about a month after iv got my carbs fitted.

well if you went to a full blown spray shop it would probably be more for a full car re-spray, a private spray shop then up to a grand i'd say as there would be ALOT of prepping and sanding etc for a full re-spray and black is hard to spray to look nice apparently, BUT for just the GSI kit i'd say depends up to £500 depends where you go...

put it on silver or might aswell give it ago, got nothing to loose, if its a rubbish finish just get saving up to get the bumpers redone or something, have to wait and see

for a cheap sh*t repaint, we have just done a old land rover for £700, but for a full ball good job, we have a 309 coming in for that, and that is priced at around £2000 if no other parts need painting, i wouldnt can it, it will look terrible
