I've bought a vectra GSi style front bumper for my flame red corsa. Also a combat phase 1 style for the back, btw its not the excat same but just simlar style. Problem is that my current std bumpers and arches are grey/black at the moment, and i really luv that colour style on a corsa, red and black it looks very tidy and orignal, (btw i luv nova's and had them this style as well, IMO the same style looks nice on corsas too.)
So i was thinking to paint either the both bumpers the same black/grey colour as the arches, altough i don't excalty know how it would look on aftermarket bumpers, all i know is that it looked great on std ones and arches.
Second option is to colour code the bottoms of both bumpers, like black at the top and the other 3/4 flame red, i know this would look fine at the front on the vectra gsi bumper as it has a groove/line in it like the std ones where the paint can meet, plus the vectra bumper has simlar style and lines to the corsa bumper gsi but the rear bumper has no groove so the two colours of paint would meet very abruptly. So what do ppl think
either paint all the bumpers grey/black
either paint the tops of bumpers and arches grey/black
Or paint everything red
Does anyone have a photo of a corsa with after market bumpers painted black same as arches? or half black with red?
Thanks
BTW any constructive critism welcome, sorry for the long post, it just hard to describe the question

just my opinion. I like cars like nova's and corsa's to be moded abit, but to maintain the std lines and looks. Sorta picked up the standard looking bug thing from owning too many novas and hanging around novaload to long lol :-) no offence intended to anyone. Just my style. gotta be some1 else here on the forums who likes this look or style.
