Hi everyone,as some of you know i'm Danscorsasxi's brother and i've just bought a black corsa b SXi 1.2 16v.Went to pick it up last night with Dan and my dad.Took some photos of it this morning before work





























First things i did to it was fit my brother's old sprayed V grill,punto rear wiper,new sidelight and headlight bulbs and replaced the side repeaters with the standard orange ones

Thanks for good comments on mine lads

We both gave it a good T-Cut and polish today because there were a few little scratches and it looks far better now.Were going to fit the 40mm springs for now and get the tow bar off

I think there alright tbh, i want it mainly to protect the bonnet before i can afford to have it sprayed. Dont want any more chips than what it already has Wanna do most of the other stuff before i get it sprayed, so gonna stick 1 on until i can afford to get it done.

It wouldn't cost much more to get it sprayed, bonnet bras are about £80 iirc, and they cause damage to the paintwork anyway.

Just had a look on ebay, can get em for £32.50 How do they damage the paintwork mate? You think its best to leave it then and get it sprayed straight away?

I thought they were more than that , I heard that they trap dirt underneath and cause light scratches and swirls. A few coats of wax and take it off when you wash the car it should be fine though. If your only fitting it as a temporary solution I wouldn't bother tbh.

If your fitting it because you like them and are going to leave it fitted then ignore me
