Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

been doing some more work on her this week, moved the car to somewhere which has spraying stuff so i can prep and spray the gsi kit

got the car in the workshop, up on stands and got the bumper and arches off





trial fitting the front bumper





checking panel gaps





and the verdict.......it doesnt fit very well so we have taken the corners off that were replaced by a previous owner to shorten them as the bumper is too long on the sides, there is nearly 3/4 inch sticking proud from the wing on the drivers side so doesnt look good, so going to do it properly, will have to get some pictures of the progress on that

also need a grill as i cant find mine anywhere

cheers

where did you end up getting 1 from mate?
also mine is slightly to wide as well,
trade plates? no tax or summit?

cool keep us updated with the progress liam

yeah no tax untill just before pvs as the car only really get used in the summer really cant do with it getting wet and dirty and covered in salt

oh sound
you got summit else u drive around in then?

dads car normally or anything else he happens to be using

nice! yeh im having the same problem if i cant source a grill by pvs ill have to go to vaux i found with my bumper the passenger side hangs abit low :boggle: but apart from that fits fine gonna look wicked done though mate!

got some more work done, my dad has been busy on the corners of the front bumper and its looking a lot better now

also found my gsi grill



but need to sort this out



and finish the little bit of filler work on the corners, this is how it lines up now







removed the rear bumper and arches and its mint underneath, first time ive ever seen under there



also saw this in the local scrappy



if you dont know what it is its a nova shame really

more updates to come during the week as plenty to do yet

cheers

haha hell has it been in a fire or what that nova?!? cool updates

yh i reckon it may of been stolen and torched, there was about 6 cars like that in a row

just thought, the gsi grill has been painted in the past and needs redoing, do i do it in gloss black or satin?? opinions??

satin

i was thinking that aswell paige

ye cos gloss would look a bit odd, as other grills are mainly satin arnt they

you getting that done for the show or using ur normal bumpers?
