My gf will shortly be getting a Corsa B, as long as she passes her test. Could people please post pictures of their interiors, with bits sprayed etc...also if there are any ladies with their interiors modded, thats even better.
Any ideas or thoughts are very welcome. Cheers guys n gals.

I used genuine Vauxhall paint (as thats the only place I could find my colour). Bought them in cans, just primered them up then painted and laquered them.
Why would they get messy? I don't understand.

Thats a good job like!
I want to do something like that as well.
I know how to get the dorr handles off, but how do u get the plastic bits off that surrounds the heating dials?
Again I have to say that looks the dogs danglers!
Thanks

The centre console is a real bitch when you don't know what you're doing.
When I took mine out I blew a load of fuses, car wouldn't start at all!!! You have to remove all the air and heater stuff behind it.
Since mine I have replaced a few and is easy when you know how to do it.
I've not done one in ages so can't remember exactly how to do it, try using the Haynes manual max power guide, or go down to a scrappy and try removing one there instead of doing it for the first time on your own

Sounds like hard work!
Think I will just do the handles just now then.
Do you have to do anything before painting them, like primer them or anything?
Pretty new at this so not really sure?
Thanks

Yes you will need to use primer.........I used Halfords primer. About Ģ6 for a big tin.
The more time you put into painting the better the end result. Ideally you would need to run down the handles, then give them a thin cost of primer and leave for a day. Rub down again, and primer again. When you have a nice coat on them you can paint them.
Give them a few thin coats of paint, when they are all covered properly you need to lacquer them.
There is a painting guide in the Tutorials section mate, have a read through that.

If the car has a sunroof you can do a nice electric sunroof conversion!
Interior lamp from omega is nice too!

you probably cant notice from the pics but the steering wheel surround was quite shit.
I rushed it in a day and quality was nowhere near as good as anywhere else, and a bit thin in places.
Deffo worth taking that bit extra time, like I did with handles, centre console, wing mirror cover, etc. I was really pleased with the results of those.
