it all depends what look your going for because black smoothed bumpers and black GSI skirts of a red car looks awesome tbf but then again so does a fully colour coded car, and they're the spoken words from the bodyfiller guru

not much chance of that cracking mate, as the gap it has filled is not very big, also aslong as he has sanded it rough enough that is
it will crack if its bumped hard though

i did sand it rough enough
and i was suprised how little it took to fill the gap it looks biger than it is
i think im going to go with red for now and see what it looks like as i realy like red colour coded corsa's
i got to buy all the stuff i need to paint it first and smooth the front bumper

no update yet but just had the drums off as there was a noise from the back when braking and they are metal to metal
so will have to get new drums and shoes ordered up 2morrow.
also how hard is it to take out the dash?

Cars looking good late!
I was thinking on spraying all my bumpers as well!
Did you take them off or spray them on the car??
Alloys look good as well!

Cool thanks mate!
I was going to take them off but then I thought it would be easier just doing it on the car!
But I guess gives me somthing to do!
Going to start it tomorrow I think!
