Hi Peeps,
Just wondered I noticed a couple of you have removed the black side strips on the Corsa C. Question is if I remove them are there any holes left or are they just stuck on to the doors. So heat up take off and polish after.
Thanks

I didnt head mine up, just got my nails under and pulled. Once they're off sit on the floor and spend half an hour pickin the glue off! Use autogylm tar remover to get all the crap off (Expensive but worth it!) Then polish.

Each to their own Munchie, but most of your posts that i have seen recently don't agree with what people want to do, all i asked was were they stuck on NOT if it loked good or not.

I agree wit Munchie, it looks shite without rub strips, also it looks like a base model e.g. Club model without them

That looks good, but a standard Sxi without strips looks worse

I think it's a Steinmetz one as the whole car has been done. Here's the rear, looks very nice I must say

I am not 100% that this is a Steinmetz front bumper I am sure I have seen it for sale somewhere online. And it's not on the steinmetz site! Does look good!

I certainly have
Some people like it, quite a few hate it 
I prefer them removed, and once it's colour-coded it's gonna look soooo sweet 
(Or and before anyone says it, it's getting lowered within the next couple of weeks  )

This is mine, not quiet Silver, Space Green, also if the strips are def just stuck on then mine are coming off as I like the look of trottys
Also want to colour code all the other black bits

Yeah,as said above the strips just pull off. Then it's just a case of giving the area a good polish once any glue has been removed.
The colour-coding makes a hell of a difference too

Will look out for you at PV2003, as I will be on the Vectra-sport stand, sorry old habits die hard

Yup, I did the boot handle - it's a piece of piss TBH Wouldn't try anything much bigger than that personally though as you can't get a decent enought finish with spray cans.
As for Vectra-Sport!
