On the right car they can look ok but on a normal corsa no.
Only really works on euro style cars for me.

They are for protection, so who gives a shit what it looks like?

i could buy the protection argument and yes indeed they do protect against stone chips, however at the same time they will promote rust by trapping moisture, and as already stated can chafe and mark the paint
