Well, Cheers yea was good find.

I got the picture of them today, and a bit more info. Turns out the driver side L piece is missing and all the jacking covers missing as well
( why are there never any jacking covers ??? ) on the plus side theres a full set of arches and all ready in Arden blue. the Skirts them selfs look to be a deeper blue. probably the same colour as the GSI Spoiler i have in the shed, Alantis blue or what ever its called.

ill chance my arm and offer him £40 for the lot but at the end of the day £45 is still a steal for all this kit. and it would be easyer picking up Jacking Covers and a Driver side L piece than trying to find the full Skirts.

Also saves me having to sand down all the Arches and priming and spraying blue.

Heres the pics.. please post what you think of them and if you see any faults or anything ive missed. they do seem to be in good condition tho

Sourced a Bumper as well for £50 !

the guy seems to not have a clue, it was someone that told him it was a GSI Bumper. He also must not know how valuable they are cause for £50 id say its a steal if its in good condition.

Hes ment to be sending my a photo in 20mins. Its red in colour and would need a respray.

Heres his advert...

"red corsa b bumpers - i have a mint back bumper for a red corsa b only resprayed and am told a gsi front bumper in red witch could be doin with a respray if u were fussy"

when i texted him he said " I'll take £80 for both or £50 for the GSI one"

Found a good use of the left over High Temp Engine paint i have ...

I left my BBQ out over the winter under some shelter, but the damp and cold rusted the paint work and metal.
was only used once late last summer casue it was bought in a End of Summer Sale.

Before...

After...

The High Temp paint will work well with the heat the Charcoal will reach, beats standard black hammerite paint.
Think it turned out well, and i still have a good bit of High Temp Black paint left.

Got the Skirts and Arches home, paid £45 in the end.

I Dont find any major signs of faults, id say theres a few clips snapped off on the back but il prob Tiger Seal them on.
the major points all seem to be 100% and theres no Cracks which is good. one of the Arch trim tho is just standard with the bump texture and just sprayed Blue, Shame, the other 3 are Smooth. hopefully i can smooth out the Bump one. All of it is gona need a light sand, prime and respray casue thats not mud on the skirts thats were the paint has flaked back prob from stone chips etc. Im happy with them tho, they just need a bit of work and prob a bit more work geting them onto the car and stitting nice. but in the end should look really good.

The pics...

Cheers Neil, needs a little tender loving care, and a driver side L piece and some jacking covers but i think it should look great in the end.
Im thinking of making some DIY jacking covers out of some thick aluminium that way if they fall off or get stolen im not woried.
Then just needs a respray and its good to go.

If you can make them I would :D I'd be gutted if I brought some covers and the gits nicked them.

Care to sell me a official set Pricer ?
and that's a good idea with attaching them with a bita security wire cable. in case the pop out.
Id prob keep the official set in storage for if i ever sold on the skirts, and use a set of DIY ones all the time.
