Maybe i should paint the new side strips a different colour to the body work? maybe the same colour blue as the "twist" badge? would also match up with the rear and front brakes which are also blue.
Filler has been used when the previous owner did a respray so i carnt get a smooth look without completely sanding the filler and paint down and them respraying which is gonna be costly to do with a pro, and will look stupid done by myself.
As you can see, the drivers side strips have come off clean and leave almost no marks.Except the faint white line which might come off with a bit of t cut.
Them handles are being painted rather tonight or tommorow.
Anyone have any ideas that i can do with this badge to make it look better?
The side strips are knackared, so i'm ordering a new set on monday at £8 a piece from vauxall.Anyone that knows where i can find them cheaper on the net, your help would be great.I've done a google search "side strips" but nothing is coming up.I'm sure theres a different name for them.
Boot badge has been painted as you can see, and "corsa" "vauxall" badges have been removed.
heres a picture of it before the mods.

that white strip is a pain to get ride of your going to need loads of time and loads of T-CUT and hard work to make it fade, I had it on my one.
look at that door close it might of had a respray, and use TAR remover and a credit card to get the left over stickers off...

what you will need to do is get a l8ter boot lock off a 98 car lets say as there isnt a huge indent where the badge is.... all there is to small holes which the badge sits in and can easily be filled
