I would't recommend a DIY smooth boot tho

especially with fibreglass. Most people weld a plate over then just a thin skim of filler and then paint. Fibreglass will crack and fall out in no time

Dunno because the corsa c only has a small recess where the handle is, its no where near the size of the corsa b. Cheers Anyway

Welding over it will be quicker than trying to fill it in with filler too... Much longer lasting as well
