Body Parts

[aswearing]

i have seen corsa b models tat have paintwork where others have plastic (around whel arches and front/rear bumper) some are on the gsi and some on the sport.

i was wondering if i can easily get hold of these parts an will they be a pain to fit? or have they been custom painted?

hope somebody makes sense of what i have just written :?
any feedback much appreciated!

Most bits are pretty easy to fit with the exception of side skirts - they can be a real pain at the best of times. The spray job is usually a factory job if they are colour coded but there is no reason why you can't do a reasonable job yourself (read up on our plastic painting article :wink: ).

sod it, after much looking iv decided to do it myself.

im going to buy:
aerosol spray gun
aerosol primer
aerosol paint
aerosol lacquer
2000 wet n dry paper

is that all i need? :? iv made my plan of action, and im nearly ready. as im spraying plastic trim on the outside, will i need a gloss lacquer to match the paintwork? bit of a dim question i know.
