hello, only recently started using this forum. So thought id make a project log of my corsa, this is how it looked when i got the car:

it's a 1.2 16v, i paid 350 for it. But did need a bit of work doing to it.

Then i ditched the chavy looking team dynamics and picked up some bbs rx's in white

took some interior bits to work to paint white

Image

And then i took my car to work to paint my bonnet and blend wings, colour coded all my arches and bumpers as well

Image

Image

Image

But the front and rear bumper trims came out terrible due to silicon's. So then i took off my front and rear bumper and painted the whole lot, Primed both bumpers so the bumper trims where smooth and not plastic textured

yea it looks top notch, when i get round to doing mine, im gona buy the genuine paint mixed up for the pneumatic spray gun and hopefully get a real nice smooth finish. That how my alloys were refurbed, it wasnt the aresol job, was proper mixed paint made to order.

yeah colour coding does look nice and alot easier as the black trims just fade and go dull so easy.
