How did you put your skirts and L pieces on pal? Want mine on soon :p there is a splitter for sale on corsasport £30 collected, I would have had it but he won't post and too far for me to go

yeah its way too far for me lol
i screwed the clips on pushed the skirts on, proper fiddly to be honest and a right O_o pain. Tempted to screw the otherside in. bish bash bosh

just buy the proper stuff from vauxhall, i did for mine, proper clips, and proper pop rivits, it looks way better at the end, plus they're easily removable if you want to wash under neeth them.

Can't get time off work pal, I works shifts so most weekends are spent at work... Sucks balls really but helps with money

I got 1 clip ahaa are the clips easy to put on (get in the right place?)

just a small update atm, mot booked in for friday..fingers crossed

still not done other skirt but hopefully this weekend will be the one lol

bought some mudflaps of ebay but now im not sure about them, saw them on a corsa c on sunday and just thought argh no so gonna hold out for some proper vauxhall ones!

Do you reckon i would get away with spraying my mirrors myself? coz thinking of work and stuff i probably wont have time to take it to a shop and let them do it

miles123 · Post by **miles123** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 10:39 am

so passed the mot with flying colours so bought a few bits and pieces

Front fog light switch

Mudflaps- Not sure about these now

Then bought a splitter

Heres a few pics of the corsa with the splitter and side skirt fitted

No wing mirrors coz they're getting sprayed

to spray the mirrors i used plastic primer which was a yellow kinda colour

Pictures make em look better then they are coz the colour is way out.
What i need to do is flat em back and then use grey primer and spray the arden blue over the grey primer. Thats what i did with the inside and the colour is alot better so should look smart when its done.
