got a few tiny plans, nothing major, just subtle changes..
already got some smoked SXI rear light's for it & some lowering spring's that i will be fitting..
will be spraying my Corsa C SRi wheels a decent normal colour, i.e anthracite
will possibly fit some standard skirts, and smoked side repeater's too, and poss smoked facelift lights for the front




quick photoshop of how i plan it to look within a few months :)

set it at max height, for now, will drop it lower, once the wheels are powder coated and fitted, but it'll look stupid on it's ass with standard steels :lol:

[Ste L]

Ste L recently gave me his Corsa C SRi wheels to be powder coated in anthracite so heres the process.

How i got them

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/IvIarkgraham/IMAG0011.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/IvIarkgraham/IMAG0010.jpg

I struggled to get the orange powder coating off so i had to send them to be acid dipped then i gave them another quick blast

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/IvIarkgraham/IMAG0020.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/IvIarkgraham/IMAG0021.jpg

then to the coating!

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d41/IvIarkgraham/IMAG0022.jpg

i think they came out brilliantly as there was a couple of bits of damage on them which has mostly been covered
:thumbs:

going to pick them up later hopefully

[Ste L]

picked them up..

look quite a blue-ish grey, should look good though when wrapped in some rubber

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/8074/DSC_1588.JPG

[Adam]

They should look well :)

[Ste L]

not fully sure of the colour yet, will have to see when they are fitted

[Pistol Pete]

Projects coming on well, a few good mods carried out. Not too sure on wheels mind, but might look different once wrapped in black sticky stuff.

[Ste L]

thats what im hoping lol


well they are staying like this for now, may change them adventually if they dont grow on me

[areofall]

I've a Irmscher door pillar cover to suit this, brand new if you interested cost nearly £80 take £40.

[Ste L]

cheer's for the offer, but no thanks...



got tyres fitted now, look's alright, just need to get a paint match so i can paint the center caps up
