quite a few of you guys and girls i talk to using PM\'s and a lot of you are asking how the cars coming along, and it is coming along....... just painfully slow. so heres some photos, im holding some back at the mo :wink:

i think the roof looks awesome, but i keep thinking it would be even better on a euro style corsa, cant wait to see it in paint. its so subtle, but makes a huuuge difference taking those roof rails out, most people smooth it straight over, i havent ever seen it where a crease is left in :thumbs:

*TRY AND KEEP THE TOPIC CORSA RELATED PLEASE*

it was in good shape when it was delivered, has needed shaving and a bit of gentle heating and bending and lots of filler :thumbs:

Use a decent mesh to give the bumper some depth and paint the bodywork behind a matt black.

Most Corsa front bumpers look too thin, with the exception of Jap-style gash which has to come out a foot away from the car.

I like the idea of having metal arches, just not sure on how you\'ve done it.

Lee Mitchell\'s arches look good on his work in progress Corsa.

looking good. i wonder how much it\'d cost to get a roof done like that on its own.
