Not been able to get my CS fix since my nets been down all weekend. Because of this I decided I'd give my corsa a proper detailing.
Took some nice shots of the finished result.
These images are as it is. appart from the grey background.
Next is probs some color coded bumpers.
what you guys think?

Im so tempted. but even after swapping for a better offset alloy Im getting a horrible grinding from the rear left. I only get it when I corner sharp or after a prolonged motorway run.
It could be the wheel bearings though?, as I've replaced the shockers last month. any Ideas?

I gave it a good jet down, then a good sponging. Took it out for a run to dry it.
then took a cloth with a generous dousing of white spirits on to clean any gunk & tar.
After that I set to work with some Red T-cut Colourcare,
The bumpers I didnt actually touch, they were done about 3 weeks ago with T-cut bumper care.
Thanx for the comments though guys, really am happy with it. got a 2 spots of rust, one on the corner of
the rear door and one on the inside lip of the bonnet by the grille. Should I D.I.Y strip em and spray it or get em done professionally?

err... whatever the factory sprayed it as?
@ p4uls corsa: I dont, but I can assure you it wasnt that spotless
@ Corsa93: any photoshop package, and I believe so!
my next step will be to lower should I sort the bearings on the rear!
