Will painting ure arches and bumpers a black colour e.g. anthracrite (sp) or satin black turn out to be like the Speedline and Gsi look?
My reasoning behind this is the following, the gsi and speedlines look and suit the car perfectly imo but after a while a lot of people doing it has made it the norm and not a very favourable mod so will this follow suit?
It seems to have more diversity to it though in terms of other stuff u cud add such as gsi front but black and irmscher stuff .etc and also not many ppl have done it yet they just talk about it or reckon it will look good.

PMSL! My mate kev's car. was me that put the pic up.
I think its getting as common as the gsi kit + speedlines. Every corsa about here has copied him ^^ just about.

haha, what a funny thing to ask. I dont think it will to be honest, cant really explain myself. I used to like the gsi kitted cars but i must admit if i were to mod a corsa now id go mostly irmscher as with your car sam, probably the best corsa on here imo. speedlines suit corsas without a doubt, only reason there so popular, dont think that will change. get speedlines matey!

Examples?? I know rus bought the splitter recently iirc, cant remember any other cases though. Don't think painting the black plastic black will catch on as gsi kits and speedlines have.

sorry i thought you were referring to everything on that car in the pic in general being the new gsi kit+speedlines, not the black plastic sprayed black

if u search on here for gsi kit or speedlines ppl often say another gsi kit or speedlines .etc they make it into a joke because its become so popular....
i cannot answer the second part as i dont frown upon it and i am under the same understanding i do to my car, what i want not the masses. but some ppl r different so i decide to open up this debate

having the car done like that silver one is currently a risk. because i want (and may do) do it to my car. but because my car is red and no one else has done this to a red corsa, its a gamble as to how it will come out. people are confident about the gsi/speedline thing because they know its gonna work.

No I doubt this will happen. You may see it on here more often , but whats the figure on here as appose to the rest of the modified corsas in the United Kingdom ?
I think corsas on this website will start to follow a trend of simply keeping bumpers etc and trying to stick with a set of aftermarket Vauxhall wheels , going towards a more "as it should have come out the factory" look.
ICE isnt as big as it used to be imo , however engine conversions/upgrades are. Changing all the time
So basically trends are changing time and time again , and I don't think these looks should ever be frowned upon

Not a risk at all if the rest of the car suits the look
