Hi,

I have a corsa c with the usual black wheel arches and sideskirts.....

I would like to know whether it would be possible to get these sprayed (professionally) star silver (same as bodywork)...

Or would this look shit?

I'm still trying to decide

I think the black breaks it up a bit, but then again it would look good if they were sprayed, i can't decide

No, leave them on.
But as for leaving them black or not, either looks good. The black does break it up a bit.

Black works ok with the red corsa, but not the silver corsa. The black strips loks tacky if they arent painted silver.

Mine are black on my corsa, and it looks tacky and cheap..... coz lets face it, they are cheap. I could probably make one myself outa sum yogyrt pot plastic.

Im gonna paint mine jsut like the one shown here.

Fost im ognna lower it 40mm..
