Are all original Corsa GSi's bodykits dimpley or flatened smooth.
My GSi has a dimpley front bumber, side skirts and 3 arched but the rear bumper and 1 arch is smooth....bit weird!!!
Do people prefere the dimple look or the smooth look?

Yeah it made my fingers sore! best way (not quickest way, but gives best results) is 240 dry, wash off, then 400 dry, wash off, 800 dry, 800 wet, 1200 wet.
Oh and John G, yeah the steelies were on whilst it was built
then fitted these
