thinking of spraying the bumber trim and arches gloss black on my red corsa , seen it on the internet and it looks smart and i havent seen anybody round here with it done yet :) , ive just been looking it up on the forum and ive heard alot about the clips and screws breaking or falling into the wing ? , has anybody sprayed their trim and have any tips for me , id much rather do it myself than take it to a garage :) , make me feel more involved with it
cheers guys :)

Wouldn't worry about the clips, you can bond the arches on.

the plastic nuts are ok if you take it steady and dont rush!! make sure you spray them first and take the wheel off aswell to gain access then it should come off really easy. its when people try to take them off straight away thats where they just twist and break off at the plastic.

personally i wouldnt bond them on, makes more mess when you take them off again

and 9 times outta ten the clips always break...but its not the end of the world to araldite the fixings back onto the arches then put them back on the car

Had them on and off with bond. Once you pull the arches off its easy to pull the bond off.
