Thanks, the badges are there they are just sprayed satin black because they had gone manky and I refuse to spend silly money on new ones.

Looks very clean bud

Spent hours on mine on monday (wash,clay bar,wash,wax,polish,polish,sunflower oil trims) then it rained

Just wondering what mudflaps they are on the front as im fed up with cleaning my car just to hit a puddle 5 minutes later

Just Corsa GSi ones, i think they also fit mk4 astrays. Their just plan flat, not the moulded ones.

Ah i would have to make brackets then as i doubt they would fit. Just dont like the PVC rally flaps as they are gash and the standard corsa ones just dont flare out enough.

Yeah wasnt sure about it when i wrote it, used the clay bar kit so what ever comes with that then two coats of tech wax. sorry got muddled up

Came up very well anyway so im happy. I believe its polish then wax to get the best results.
