Last night there was a local Vauxhall meet at Cheshire oaks, was a fantastic turnout if anyones local they should defiantly pop up and have a look, there was around 50 ars at one point, got a few rubbish quality photos from later on in the night...
And one of mine, ArdenAndy's and CorsaGuys's corsa

Next update, finished touching up my gsi bumper, arches, and steinmetz skirts...
only one problem, I have NO CLUE on how to go about fitting the skirts? does anyone have previous experience and could suggest the best way of doing it?
Also wouldn't mind some opinions on gloss black bumper tops and arches? not sure ive made a good decision with gloss black tops? anyone think the same? haha

The black tops will look spot on with the wheels being black. Check Dans silver corsa that has black tops of the bumpers and archs and it looks lush. Put them on and if you dont like it respray them lol

Have seen dans looks sweet but he has a lighter coloured car which I think looks better, may have to ask dan about the skirts aswell, I can't be arsed paying for all the spraying lol, but I will have to if I don't like it haha!

Got a small hole in either side also to screw into arches? Use them or not bother do you think?

On my old corsa, i used 3M double sided trim tape (has to be thick though) and tigerseal
I just stuck a line of tape along the top and bottom of the skirt (as you would expect to see it from factory) and then used a load of tigerseal between, worked a treat

the tigerseal is the right stuff, but the tape i have just given as an example, better off going and buying from a bodyshop supplier imo, they can give you the trim tape best suited (thickness wise)
