Managed to get a dry weekend so have gave the car a quick clean. Didn't get to polish it as its a bit cold. Didn't bother to bumper gel the bumpers/arches either as I'll be painting the arches when I come to fit my new bumpers (and don't want to risk the paint reacting.

Got lots of bits to fit to it yet (see my garage), but it looks alright for the time being.

What do you think?

Yup Wrighty, got a GSi spoiler to go on the tailgate I have. The calipers were painted in Hammerite Yellow. Got 1/2 a can left if you want it, lol.

Having second thoughts about the Irmscher splitter I've bought for my new post-97 bumper though. Would look good smoothed in like I originally wanted, but can't help but think it might look better without it?

Wasn't saying it won't suit it, I just mean Corsa's without the spoiler usually look pants but it looks ok without it

I was going to put SuperTouring flash badges on the doors to go with the calipers, but then decided against it. Would be a plan for someone though.

LOL, see what they look like when the white bumpers are on!

They will get re-furbished at some point. Quite fancied getting them done back in the original silver (to be different, lol).
