Purchased a set of spax rsx coilovers from a lad off here. They're ace!! the corsa actually goes round corners without my face being pressed against the door windows with the body roll!

Also, my car is a new colour! Satin Black! Hope you all like!

p.s ignore the rear lenses!















edited due to massive pics. sorry

colour is fit, smoothing looks abit uneaven in places but looks sooooo good front the front, proper rear lights and sort number plate out as it looks funny there i think

Is every1 looking at the smae pic i am!




You can see where it has been smoothed an not flatted down properly.
It looked 100x better in white.
The satin black spoils it and doesnt look a great job.

nice idea but the workmanship doesnt look too up to scratch, black is such a bastard for showing imperfections

Thanks for the comments! Ok i know its not perfect, and i know some are going to either like or dislike it, but i'm quite pleased with the outcome. Yes i admit i did all the work/painting myself and its not a pro bodyshop standard but i've learnt a lot doing it, and maybe if/when the time comes again for it to be done again it'll be a much better job

Fair play for doing it yourself. I'm not sure it works though to be honest, needs some finishing touches to tidy it up. Rear number plate looks like an afterthought, rear lights look messy and tint on the rear window looks very tatty.

Preferred it before personally, but its your car.

looks good far away but as said the work isnt great!

now it has been sprayed look at all the things that are wrong and then just block them out and you can spray over them!

and as its satin black then it will be pretty easy to do!
