I have a corsa 1.0 12v, I don't know if they just come under the category of bumpers but the bumper bit underneath the bumper... that is sometimes colour co-ordinated...
I was just wondering if there is a different name for them and a somewhere good to get hold of them for cheapish because mine is just the same as the bumper at the moment but i want it colour co-ordinated.
I also would like to know if you can get a colour co-ordinated version of the black strip where the windscreen wipers pivot.
Does anyone know where i can get these from and what kind of price im looking at?

hi mate,do you mean the bit of plastic around where the rear wiper arm conects to the boot with with vauxhall logo on? if so just take it off yourself and spray it its real easy todo as i think you would find it hard to source one in your color?
as for the front bumper lip is it the rubber strip one or is it like a laguna splitter (plastic)?

The bit around the wipers is called the scuttle panel. And you can paint it yourself if you take it off and spray it

not sure what the but under the bumper is called but I know what u mean mine are coloured, If you want to get hold of some I would go looking in scrap yards, new ones cost more to get them sprayed. You could always spray them urself but what they look like depends on how good you are with a spray can.
The bit where the wipers rotate is the scuttle board it comes off easy but you will have to spray this yourself they didn't come coloured.

okay thanks for the help, i might just take off the scuttle board n paint it myself or just leave it, i arent sure :S i just got the idea from looking at the website with the 7.75 supernova grill on it because you could buy the scuttle panel thing painted n not plastic but rip off price, i might just leave it, not too sure whether it will look dumb...
It was the splitter I was talking about and i don't wanna just take it off n paint it because i'd rather it be metal, i think i'll just go to the scrappy, thanks for the help though everyone
