Hi, ive found a GSI spoiler at a local scrappy and ive been told i can have it for 45 quid.

I'm tempted to pick it up at the weekend, but the only probs is it is black and my corsa is flame red.
I wanna paint it and my mate said he will help me as he has a spray gun, but im just worried i wont get it the exact same colour as my car.

What you lot reckon?

if you get your paint code off your car and get the paint mixed up, and you use the right primer it shud cum out pritty close.

Yeah thats what my mate said, and theres a paint shop just down the road from me.
so what should i do, rub it down, laccer it, paint it and prime it?
And do you know how they fit onto the boot?
Cheers

yeah mate you wanna rub it down till its smooth and it got a key for the primer to grip to. a few coatsof primer. a few coats of paint, and when your happy with it a few coats a laquer.

as for mounting they shud come with a base plate that bolts on.

if not then most people just glue them on

Oh cheers mate.
Given me some confidence now

Yeah the guy at the scrappy said its a 2 part irmscher GSI spoiler.
So im guessing 2 part = base plate and spolier.

Its an all vox scrap yard so im guessing he knows his stuff and he said its still on the boot so i can have a look before he take it off.

i was a bit nervous a boout doin my front bumper but just took my time and came out great you cant even tell

Sound, that looks good mate.
Yeah the colour code is under the bonnet init, on the black plate?

I'm looking forward to getting it done now.

I will do it over the weekend and then let you know man.

Btw how much do you think the paint and primer and laccer will cost?

paint code - http://forums.corsa-b.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... ode#p85585

not sure about price but it aint cheap, proply wud have been cheaper to getmy bumper done professionally but i just wanted to try it, so i did lol

i wud deffinatly get a price from a body shop before buying the paint, you cudsave urself sum money by doin the prep work urself.

£45 from a scrappy? your gettin ripped off lol,im sure u can get brand new one cheaper..check ebay and stuff.

Tar for the paint code.

Nah they are pretty expensive on ebay lol.
Including p+p and that

you can definatley get one cheaper on ebay probly primed or in your colour tbh :s i picked up flame red gsi spoiler off ebay for £10 and colected it for 10 quid petrol

and it was already in flame red

i only payed £7.50 for my spoiler and it only cost me £5 petrol to go collect it surely you cou,d get one cheaper than £45
