Bought a Boot spoiler from a mate this weekend, was red, but unfortunately a brighter Red than my car, so i sanded it down and primered it. but weather went bad so i'll wait for it to get better before i spray the rest of it.
Will get some pics up when i have some time..

Got some time to post some pics.
Sanded the spoiler down, gave it a light coat of primer and sanded it again..
As it stands now
Weather isn't to great today.. think i might work in the garage.
anyone had any experience with painting on a cold wet day?

Ye mate they came off the cavalier(sp) there. In S.A they are on the Kadett 200ts and are also 5 stud but these were converted to 4 stud.

so what did the wheels come off? mines are the same wheels but in 5 stud and camme off the cavalier/calibra turbo over here but as i said there 5 stud but the ones on that silver corsa are 4 stud, did they come on a specific model over there? or are you saying they came on kadett's?

Thanks AW06. The needles came off a kadett, i dont know if they are the same as you Astra F hatch's ones? They are a big improvement arent they? all i need now is a L.E.D kit to light them up as the corsa gauges werent made for them and dont light them up at night, but you can still see them okay.
@ Davieslim The wheels came off the Kadett 200ts and were 5 stud. The guy who owned the corsa then had them converted to 4 stud. As far as iknow these rims never came out in 4 stud.... EVER

Valesidecc thanks for that, ive currently got them in 5 stud on my corsa and thought it would have been a waste of time going to the trouble if i could have found them in 4 stud somewhere lol
