Hi there, i was just wandering what is the best way to change the arches from grey to black.

Is it possible to buy black ones?
Or do any other corsas already come with the black ones?

Thanks, Luke

They are black mate, they have probably just faded like most do, back to black works but not for long, if you want them black, but new ones or spray your ones

Either buy brand new ones from Vauxhall, or get them painted.

Yeh but some look more of a cheap plastic and some look more of a better quality? like for example GSi ones look same material as bumpers like a smooth plastic whereas lower models archs are like that bumpy plastic.

new from vauxhall they are about £17 for 1 front and about £37 for 1 rear arch.

Gsi are the same as the others but colour coded so they seem smooth. if you look close you can see the finish behind the paint aint smmoth
