I have just bought a pre-facelift corsa C, i really want the black bit colour coding but they are textured and i think that they will look poor, is there anyway that a body shop could colour code it so it has a smooth finish like the rest of the car? also, how much would this cost me?

later on i will also be fitting A front spoiler, somthing like a irmischer or stieny one, anyone got any ideas on price for fitting and spaying of this?

thanks in advance,
Nam

Not sure of cost mate, but any decent bodyshop will be able to get a glass smooth finish on the 'textured' parts of your bumpers...

that type of plastic isnt meant to be sprayed, it sweats and paint wont bond to it properly, you may encounter issues over time if you do

vaux may do replacement bits in ready primer, thats a safer bet

Bumper parts for a good job and smoothing as you say: £200-300

Fitting and Spraying Lip will be lower if its irmscher as its a good fit so around £150-200 mark but could be £200+ for a poor fit splitter

Few people on here run bodyshops or know people in them, stbodyworx r very good (customcorsa) when i spoke to him about work his dad mailed me back all the time and gave me a good idea of what i cud have done and costs

My old Nova GSi had colour coded bumpers that were textured as standard

Vaux left them textured when they sprayed them, when the car was new

I had them sprayed to a glass finish by a bodyshop, 2 years later when I sold the car, they were still like when they came out of the bodyshop

doesnt really happen on old cars as the new plastics that are used are from recyled plastics which have oils in them and that is what can make them look bad if they get chipped or scuffed !!
