How did you get on Si?

The laquer take to the paint ok........ as long as you waited until the final coat ofred was dry you shouldn\'t have a problem with the laquer!

haha, i have seen them on corsa and they looked ok actually :lol:
im not keen on cups at all tho, dunno why. guess it comes down to each to there own again, those ones ive got are the perfect size for the corsa, bit smaller than original but you can still see out of them :thumbs:
