Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
Looks good where you getting the top coat from
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
fair enough lol. im thinking of doing the same with a genuine sparkplug cover. going to paint the rocker cover black and the spark cover blue. modding a car never ends! keep up the good work with the splitter mate.

Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
Cheers pal. Was the only type of cover I could find I can't put the plastic one on coz of my VX inlet plus it looks ugly.
Got a head light out at the moment the earth spade has snapped off my angel eyes so got to get that sorted tomorrow
Then I'm going to attempt to get some colour on the splitter now I've got rid of the cracks.

Re: Corsa Sport aka Blue
Just the pictures pal.
I've used 300mil 2x Tin of primer equaling to 6 coats. And 2x 300 mill Tins of blue paint equaling 6 coats
Previous pics were of 2 coats now its had 6 and Here's how it's looking now:
Just needs to have a clear coat now and hopefully be on by next week then .
Headlight has also been fixed, the terminal had snapped (spade connection) so that's been replaced and its all working sweet again .
