Ive got one on mine, pretty easy to fit, and fits well.

Isit for a CorsaB?

If so, i wouldnt buy that one in the pic if thats the one your going to buy. There should be a cutout at the front with a moving metal block that has threads in it, so you can screw the bonnet locator into.

Well mine did neway...

i think he did to be honest since wouldn't loads of paint come off? he also colour coded the arches etc and they withstood the jetspraying?

either way, why use a jet wash on a recently painted car?

even if the paint is dry, it wont have fully hardened for a good few months.

even then i wont be taking a jet wash near my car

I've fitted one of those.










You will need catches with them type of bonnets.

Don't expect a perfect smooth finish either.
