Doubt it will catch on and be like" get your colour coded bumpers painted black, it will look better" kind of thing, As black arches etc only suit certain coloured cars. For example, a fully colour coded silve corsa looks alot more elegate/newer/fresher (with the right mods, if you get what i mean) rather than a track car kinda look it has with the black breaking it up, imo.
Using these 2 compared to the black bumper one,

yeah i can see what u mean there carl with the more sleek look being all silver... never put em side by side before.
i think ppl are liking the idea as it is new and something that hasn't been done a lot before but it does all depend on the way want ure car to go

Whats cool about it is the fact that its different, as soon as everyone starts doing it, it will fade out..

I know what you mean, but in a way its not different as they come with black bits as standard (albeit black plastic) I'd have definatly had my colour coded if would have decided to modify it.
Still think it depends on the colour, some colours like red imo look better with the black breaking it up.
that silver/black one would look better with silver door handles.

black/silver look is sexy..
but look back at my old green one and icy's too, both were modelled on green/black theme so it's nothing new...

Well, here's a Red Corsa with the "look". It's growing on me, unsure if i'd do it to my Corsa though...

I hope it doesnt catch on as the whole reason I bought a silver car was to do this. Ive had the idea for well over a year now and hope to have it finished off sometime next year.

ye i know what u mean, most people the last few years would rather spend the money on crappy bodykits, but it looks like now alot more people have realised that standard and simple is the way forward so hopefully we will see more of this happining

The point exactly, i cant see Max Power ever changing to more standard and simple but i certainly think people are starting to realize after some of the Corsa's on here like dna23's, Teddy's old Gsi, NeilM and the likes of Fears that you can make a car look alot better with using subtle bodykits than over the top fibreglass tat

russ, get the blck bits done an antracite colour like on the silver at start of page, i think a black would contrast tooo much. then spray wheels same antractie too match.

however, its always good to see highly modded cars such as iaz' and jackos every now and then jst to see what is available to buy and see how cars as cheap and boring looking as a corsa can change into something totally different
