yea,i did want softstars but gloss black, but didnt have any money and they come up at the right price so i got them just because of the better offset, i didnt loose any money from selling the wolfrace ones and buying the cav's

bit of an update.. gave the car a 3 hour clean, wash t cut polish, and i think it payed off.
new number plates made a lot of differance i think

lowered the back to 60mm even though i dont think it looks 60 mm

gave the arches and scuttle a really good clean as they was faiding really bad, and come out like new

what do people think, as my bonnet was rusted bad ive decided to get it resprayed, i know if it gets done in flame red the rest of the car will look a different colour flame pink, but after standing back and thinking im quiet tempted with a black bonnet (gloss black) what do people think?

i got a flame red corsa and gunmetal with polished rim, not much difference from black, but still looks good...black bonnet sounds good, and i know how u feel about the whole pink thing, its hard to keep them red without respraying, was thinking of doing the same, black bad boy bonnet because i cnt find a cardon fibre one..but otherwise nice car, i really need some depo'd after seeing yours

im unsure it will look alright with a black bonnet, its one of them things for me i either love it or apsolutly (sp) hate it, few people said do it, its just i dont want it to stand out like a sore thumb and look rediculous
