Haimsey - no they're not painted, just in the standard black that they came in.

Kathryn W - eyebrows have already gone

Could do, looking at the picture I think black is needed to suit the wheels and grill, and possibly a gloss black bonnet.

Would you go for gloss black though?

Agreed.

Although i think gloss black could look out of place, maybe a bit too 'shiney' if you get me.

Id go for softstars in black, I think that would look cool. You will always have the chavs with their combat kits etc slate you for doing "the same thing as everyone else" but its tried, tested and definitely looks good, unlike the majority of modified corsas!

Yea true jack.

I think gloss black would look good but like you say Haimsey I reckon It would stick out too much.
Either Satin Black or Rover Gun Metal would be a safe bet in my opinion.

either that rover grey or gloss black would look good IMO, ye take off the eye brows but appart from that i personally wouldnt change a thing. every other car ive seen those alloys on i think looks totally crap but for some reason the really suit your car an look really good, so i think gloss black black bits would look really good as they will match the inner of the wheel

Thanks for the nice comments people

The Interior is finished in my eyes, calibra leather and a few subtle interior bits, except the wheel lol.
Need some new vauxhall mats though.

For the time being I am going to paint the plastic parts, chances are I will go for the rover colour as its more of a safer bet than the black gloss.

I got some pics of the eyebrows off, I will upload them and see what you think

was bored so had a quick go in ps.

thought it would look quite cool with black plastics, bonnet & roof.
also smoothed the splitter into bumper and colour coded the bumpstrips/door handle
