I`m not in Whitby too much, about once a week. Live about 15 mins away. The only other Corsa i`ve seen down there is a red Corsa C with the corsasport logo on the sunstrip. I mailny go to Guisborough during the week - just bought a business down there

For those who go into gusborough, i`ve bought the Priory Bistro/restaurant. Just waiting for the complition date.
Anyway i need some advice if people dont mind! I`ve just refurbed my alloys and sprayed them white. Now I dont know weather or not to c/c the arches and bumper.




I was thinking of spraying them black again. (the arches)

Also being lowered and skirts on next month

Opinions?

Finish on the wheels looks good, did you do them yourself?

Leave the trim black and paint the entire bumpers black. Don't bother with sideskirts. If you insist on having side skirts, you need a lower front lip/spoiler bonded/blended onto your front bumper and you'll need to colour code the whole lot.

1. Remove wheel and give a good clean down
2. Give the wheel a REALLY good rub down with fairly course sandpaper followed by a good rub with fine paper.
3. Wash wheel again useing water only and allow to dry.
4. Use body filler (or just normal filler) and fill any curbing/scratches. Once dryed, sand down with fine paper.
5. Wash wheel again with water.


6. I taped off the tyre and used newspaper to cover it. You are suppost to have the tyre removed, but I didn`t and I had no problems
7. Several thin layers of primer and then sand and wash.
8. Spay with the colour of your choice. I used white here. Several thin coats. About 20 mins between each coat.
9. Apply 3 - 4 coats of laquer, again 20 mins between coats. Romove tape when the last coat of laquer is tacky - prevents cracking.
Replace wheel when dry!




This is just a quick guide to what I did, hope it helps some1!
