Decides to start in the drivers side as it was the worst, this is all painted by myself by the way with actual base coat and lacquer rather than a rattle can

Had to also fit new wheels in rather than the original steelies [emoji12]
Not the best of pics off the wheels but this was the day after it was painted and refit began
The wheels are 16inch off my mates Toyota starlet think they look quite good

Car looks good mate but I wud loose the lexus lights but if you like em tint them out as I think they look to out of place. Are the blacks on the bumpers and arches going colour coded and make the chrome v on the grill black gloss

Thanks mate [emoji4] yeah I do like the Lexus rear light but am thinking off tinting them out, to be honest I got the pair for 5 quid so couldn't argue with that haha yeah all round blacks are getting colour coded already got the drivers side ones done and one fitted today, gonna do the front bumper one in the next couple off week because I have an irmsher front spoiler to go on so will do that all at the same time. With the grille I was thinking off getting the de-badge one?? What you reckon

You could but I always prefered the original but it goes on personal preferences really. There are a sea of corsa b out there for inspiration for mods to your corsa but I think it will go on your budget more than anything on my corsa I mixed it up a little did some mods everyone has and put some of my own to it to stand out the crowd slightly

Undecided yet mate only on a 1 litre at the moment so anything more is gonna have a difference, ideally would love to do. a 2.0 Redtop conversion but even a 1.6 gsi would be good but they don't come by often where as there loads of red tops knocking about

Can I suggest trying flyeye instead of tinting. Means you can match the rear lights to the body colour.
