why bother, just plastic prime them, hi build prime them, and sand them down and you cant tell the difference. saves about for hours sanding time!

what exactly does plastic primer do? I used it lastnight on my arches beofore i primered them, its just like a clearliquid stuff that soaks into the plastic, after it dries it just looks normal as if i didnt even spray them.

if you get the replica GSi skirts from tuning.co.uk they fit perfectly with standard arches. Mine took about an hour to fit myself. £110 I think

Yea, theyre tough as old boots but theyre quite flexable when not fixed to anything, When I get them sprayed I'm gonna have to be extra extra carefull that they don't flex before I get them on the car.

Yea, they come black with roughly the same finish as the standard arches, I'm leaving them black till I can get the lot sprayed. I think they go quite well, sort of like the new shape corsa sxi/sri
