quote: Easier then I thought, I unbolted the arch's by just running my hand along the inside feeling for where the bolts were and then unclipped them, once the front were off the back ones have a little plastic dowl holding them to the skirts, took that out and removed them. Oncae the arch's were off I looked under the skirts and they were clipped to the body work. Just put a flat head screw driver through the holes provided and unclipped them, then slide them off Job done | |

spraying plastic only = cheap crappy way of colour coding, this will also peel later on in life. | |

i have got a silver corsa C and i want all the black plastic bits colour coded, i took it to vauxhall and asked them if they would do it and they said that it was not possibvle to get the paint to stick to the plastic and that the finish looks shit!!! i find this quite hard to believe when i have seen loads of corsa C's which are colour coded!!! |
