lmao. i love how youve gone around posting on random posts to get your post count up so you can post pics and then you dont post them properly lol

[blue_peg_16v]

i think id also lose the flushed tail gate but thats just personal taste

[meritlover]

i would like to peel off the sticker on the window and revert the car to standard. then underseal and wax the chassis. then i would admire it for the beautiful flower it would have become.

omg even the window seals have been primered!
but i would put a standard tailgate on, atm that wont pass a mot with the number plate light like that plus its 3points i think

but as above unsealed and any rust treated no matter how small

yes all within about a minute of each other!! that was a funny read, all the posts are of such randomness!! i had a little laugh to myself but then i stopped as it was not as funny as i first thought. plus i had to get up and boil rice.
i did not notice the bad primers on the windows rubbers!!!! that is an awefull!!! it will be a not nice job to remove this!!

I'd imagine you'll need some new window surrounds.
Anything you use to get the primer off will more than likely spoil whats underneath.

Saying that... I'd imagine they've probably been painted for a reason so best bet is to salvage some good condition used ones. Beware of anything thats bent as they don't straighten out very easily.

yea i did random post just so ican get my car up on here a.s.a.p an get proper nova lovers guides on how to make this a real nicr car,
i bought the car all primed an honestly i have no idea why he had primed all that, i was going to try an remove the primer from them but thought it would make it worse, for the flush tail gate were i live in n.ireland theres wanna be hoods who broke into my corsa an cause this has electric windows i want to cut down there chances of breaking in, but the stickers an sun strip are being removed today, the bonnet will be removed tomorrow an standard one put back on, small gte astra vents goin each side of the bonnet, lookin into gettin updated brake discs, need 3" back box an the 5" looks ridiculous,
were can i put the number plate? does there have to be a light shining up onto it then, dont want to put the number plate on the tailgate as its all flush,
any thoughts?

[Matt2107]

Yep you need a number plate light.
You can get hold of universal items or even number plate bolts that shine light onto them but anything other than white is illegal.

Best plan would be to make or buy a number plate recess and have it on the bumper.
