Same as what novas have , though they have vinyl on the rear.

Obviously below is a shit photoshop but I think it would look well.

For some reason

would look as if the boot has been repaired, and the only can of paint you had was black.

i think if people got used to it it may look ok, looks wrong because we all know corsas are supposed to be like that but it the same principle as the novas which people like...

no, the boot on the nova has a crease in it, the corsa does not.

The exact same was said for my GSi bumper in satin black , but I think it has grown on most




For the fact that its a part not meant to be there in such a colour.But I am more unsure of the tailgate thing , though think it might work

Not massively keen in all honesty, altho it is deffo different.

And old skool Nova GSi vinyl could look good on it if you did do it tho

yeah true, could just offer a bit of vinyl up first cut it to size etc & just blue tac it on just to see what it looks like. if you like it stick it on
still better than spraying & deciding you dont like it

If you were going to do it, youd do it to where the lights stop at the rear obviously. Other wise youd be a fucking idiot to paint a random bit of the back of ur car black.

Needs to have colour coded bumpers, arches and skirts and the black part on the boots needs to be satin, oh and it also needs the B posts doing - I think it's look pretty good on a GSi tbh.
