You have a 1l 12V as well i see

With that photoshop i done i think it looks quite nice with all the badging gone.

Do you have powerstearing ? Your stearing wheel looks different.

I think "Mav's" car looks nice with the colour coding. Standard back bumper. Maybe i will just keep it black untill i can get a dry day. Remove the wheels and try and paint the bumpers red.

Oh yes, Electric Power Steering (EPS) and airbag - should have got a GLS mate

To be honest, I wouldn't bother spraying the bumpers as it's only peel/chip, unless you've got experience in spraying - my mate had a 5 door Vegas in Flame Red and colour coded bumpers with rattle cans, looks god awful.

I guess so.. As i said i have the Plastic Primer and Flame Red paint and Sand paper which i have had for over a week now waiting to be used.

If you all think it will look better black though then i guess i will leave it black for now. Although if i get bored of it i might decide to spray them red.

If i make a crap job, i can always take it off ?

Do what you want, it's your car! I can't see why it wouldn't come off, if you sand paper the bumper enough though, the paint might stain the bumper and you'll have dodgy matte red bumpers, much like them Fiesta's with blue plastic.

I have primer though, which coats the plastic first so that the paint sticks to it.

I would debadge it, keep the bumpers and arches black, and just paint the boot lock surround red. You will have to sand all the textured parts for weeks if you want them to look any good when painted! I speak from experience here! I would lower it and get some alloys on it too.

Well i may be buying a set of 14" Corsa Sri alloys, what do you think on them ? Yea i was aware that i would have to sand them but i didn't think it would take that long.

You think i should spray the boot lock ? Does that come off or woul di just spray it on ?

And yes deano it was directed at you
