Anyone ever done it on a corsa there's loads of videos on YouTube and links on the internet and gives good results but there's stuff about different chemicals in plastics so some don't get as good results so anyone done it on a corsa and got any pics

I used a heatgun on an old Corsa = looked amazing once done

On Ellen's KA = Looks like pap. Ended up painting them with some watered down grey paint and a mini roller, looked amazing

I did it on my old corsa 12volt.

worked a treat, just dont get too close or hold it in the same possition for too long as it will melt the plastic.
