Really? £55? I'll have to get me some of that i've had a look at alot of corsa b's the same or similar colour to mine and i think you might be right about the silver spoiler my plan was to do the spoiler black and the alloys and then some new wing mirrors in black? Would that look any better? Is that anthracite a really really dark grey? I'll look into doing that, maybe that'd look better than black? Cheers pal

Had an idea last night which i wanted to ask people about before doing or even considering, because i'm useless with painting and like i don't have the day's free to paint bumpers and stuff, what about vinyl wrapping that black plastic bit on the bumpers and wheel arch's? Maybe its completely retarded and i'm stupid? But i just thought maybe it'd look alright and possibly a bit different? Could do some carbon fibre vinyl or something? lemme know your opinion's please guys? Am i being stupid? Or a genius haha

I've carbon wrapped my arches and back bumper lol. Hard to do bumpers. Looks alright though. It might be in my work in progress. Gotta have patience

Really? does it come out alright? I'm just so useless at painting and i'm looking for a better solution if that makes sense? Any pics so i can have a peek at what it looks like pal?

Hey guys, another quick update, yesterday i skidded and crashed my car into the back of another car, the damage is all cosmetic, i need to get a new bonnet new head lights and maybe a new front bumper that's all, so i'm in two might weather to go to a scrappy or maybe order some of those depo"s also how hard is it to swap a bonnet over? I'll try and get some pics up of the damage asap guys

Oh dear not gd, it's not hard to change a bonnet mate I had to change mine when I shunted someone, only thing I found was when put new bonnet on the bar that runs inbetween the two wings was bent so didnt line up to top of the bumper like used to hopefully that aint happened to urs. U got some pics of it?

ah that's poo, you want them in silver though don't ya, headlights are cheap but I unno about silver bumper n bonnet

Hey guys another update, i went to a scrap yard and got some headlights and a bonnet cheap-ish fitted them with some help from a friend only problem is i've got a blue bonnet and my headlights don't match up, i've took some pics of what the accident has done and like changing some bits so i'll get them up asap for you

Big c is that bar the black one that runs behind the front bumper? Because that is bent and my bonnet doesn't fit as good as the old one did? I've got some pics i'll have to upload them asap and let you have a look?

My grill was also smashed into bits so i've not got one on at the moment but i'll order one as soon as i've got some money

I've got 3 idea's for this bonnet and i wanted to see which people would think looked best,
1. Sticker bomb
2. Rat look
3. Vinyl wrap

Which would look the best?

mate its not what would look the best, its what YOU prefer, do whatever you want and dont let people stop you

Vinyl wrap it fella silver cars with black bonnets looks decent:) but yeah listen to the above do what you want!

Cheers guys i was leaning more towards vinyl wrapping it to be honest i think a black bonnet would look good so i might go for that when the weather picks up and i have somne spare money i know alot of vinyl wrap is crap so can anyone reccomend a brand or anything i should be looking for? I don't want to get some cheap wrap that'll ruin after a week or so haha i'll update as i go along and i should get some photo's up on friday for you all to have a look at thanks for the advice/ comments guys

There is a make of wrap which is something like 3M! good stuff

Wicked cheers pal I'll sort some out and get it doen when the weathers better

Hey guys big string of photo's

Right few pics of the damage of when i crashed (sorry about the quality of 'em all)





basically the black plastic at the back of the lights were smashed so they didn't fit and didn't stay still,
and the bonnet was bent so it didn't shut properly These pics aren't very good but it was worse than it looks :/
