yes it does work but corsa arch trims and bumpers were made from two different plastics, one of them has a good out come and is easy to do and the other type of plastic is crap they will just go all multicoloured, im not sure hoe u identify this but ul just have to try it

Didn't work at all for me, could be something to do with the layers of nut oil on it though

I tried it once and seconds after my dad telling me I need to 'be brave' the arch started bubbling

I've seen a video of someone doing it where it worked well but I've never bothered trying since last time

I tried it out on my dads corsa arches, amazing result, just have it on full heat and go about an inch away.

And take your time!

Old valeters trick. It works well just dont hold it long enough for it to bubble.

For best results use bumper gel straight afterwards, go over it with the heat gun agan then another layer of bumper gel and it will look better than factory.
