hi there here is my 1.2 8v its standard now, but in middle of puttin darker seats/carpet/door cards in, no money to really do anything to it the now, sellin my brothers one same as mine but got colour coded bumpers and its silver so was thinkin about takin the better bumpers, is it easy to spray them? and how much would it cost?









what does everyone think ?

You wont need his bumpers mate, you can use the ones you already have. Just tape up the top section of yours, sand the bottom half down, prime them, sand again and paint. i'd say it'll cost you about 20 quid for all the paint and primer etc. Looks a nice base man, I would love a white one.

i know but i think the facelift ones look better and im going fully white, so not sure what to do to be honest, i got it for nothing off my girlfriends auntie, they were going to scrap it but i got it and done 2 wheel bearings, ball joint, anti roll bar bushes, wipers, and just need to fix sump and service it and itl be a beast once again :L

its got facelift bumpers aint it? Back one is for sure

front one isnt so was just gna change all the bumpers, already took the interior out my brers one lol, is it easy to get bumpers off?

both front and back bumpers shown on the car in the pics are post97 bumpers ( facelift )

wooo white corsa ftw lol..heres mine before i sold it,u can maybe get ideas from it.

yeah that looks amazing lol, how did you get the white bits inside painted? and so would i just be able to paint the bumpers white? i want them complelty white though, and i want they alloys you have lol, im currently in the middle of changing my interior, was it easy to paint the mirrors and door handles? and remove the wiper? was your just the 1.2 8v aswell? looks really nice though mate

comments welcome

Yo bud . A newbies answer. Replace the temperture hingy lol

i dunno if it could just be the temperature sensor or a loose wire tbh mate

try the temp sender first its just behind the front grill, pinch one from a scrappy and see if it makes any difference.

got any pics of what it would look like?
