Love how it sits on the back mate! How did you stick the skirts on? I would like some myself but don't want them falling off when I'm bombing down the road, ha.

No worries, easily one of the best cars on here in my humble opinion

Ah I see, well I'm planning a visit to a bodyshop at some point soon so will get hold of some and them to do it, ha.

I wish my car had the bump strips on like yours actually, I must be the only Corsa owner that prefers them on, lol.

I'm same mate!

Imo if the car comes with bumpstrips then they should stay on because of the model.That's why GSi and lower litres like yours don't have them on

I just think they break up the silver nicely! I actually really like Arden Blue Corsas with them on, just seem to make them look really smart!

That would be good mate! Mine isn't up to your standard though unfortunately so you would show me up, ha.

How would I go about getting a PVS ticket and getting on the CS stand?

Eventually they'll put a thread on here about tickets so you can buy them then we'll have to pay for stand passes so they'll let us on stand

They are sprayed red with proper red tinting light spray mate,did about 3 coats untill i was happy with them then lacquered them Have to be careful though because your indicator still needs to flash orange so don't spray them too much

Ye mate cheers Dan

Plans before PVS are :

Front and rear stutbraces
Hids 4500k
Rocker cover powder coated silver
Wiper hole smoothed & bonnet resprayed
Exhaust highering
Few other bits need spraying on body but that's it

Oh and a LET...
