Yup Genuine Steinmetz sideskirts. They're secondhand skirts and the strengthening bar is shot so the skirts have been bonded on, With the screws to keep it in place whilst the poly adhesive cures for a week. The screws will be removed and the holes smoothed over. Not ideal but will get a good fit.

Few pics taken after a days work in the bodyshop.
Doesn't look like much progress but the front bumper was an arse to get lined up and it's still only a fair fit. Skirts have been rubbed down and screw holes filled. Also spoiler is fitted and the four lumps where the bolts are, smoothed.

Sure, If you want it to look like Stevie Wonder painted it. Me and a mate prepped the car whilst Dan painted it for me. He's done a great job in painting it.
Can't wait to get it home and start building it up now.
Car looks way too Silver at the mo, Just need to get the Anthracite wheels sorted to break the colour up.

I hope so bud. Tbh I'm not a big Corsa fan, I much prefer the Mk3 Astra GSi but this came along cheap.
If I find a cheap mk3 in good condition I'd snap it up.

I'm surprised at how nice the colour looks tbh. I live in North Manchester, Only 20 mins from Reddish where Dan sprayed it.
I didn't know you'd got a new Corsa, My mate Gaz linked me to your thread on VS.

Cheers matey. After 8 months of having a shed on the driveway it's now starting to feel like the car I imagined it to be.

Does look pretty good except for the gaps at the side of the grill, I'm thinking of Changing to front bumper for a Rieger.
