So decided to show the Corsa a little love over the holidays, not much done but tell me what you guys think so far. Before:    After:    De-rubsriped the doors, painted rims, de-badged the boot, blacked out the red on tailights and smoked rear fog lights (needs to be darker though)

Thanks for all the comments and feedback guys. Future plans are to hopefully get a full re-spray, and will consider the gloss black trim. Window tint is happening next month, and if the budget allows coilovers  @chez headlights are looking a bit sorry for themselves  , was meant to sort that out before the photo's. Will sort out this weekend

toothpaste does work wonders,,,but works best with a buffing machine...my bra did it and it came out shiny...just use normal car polish on the lights afterwords

I tried toothpaste on my headlights and it did not come out that great.
But then went to a buddy of mine who has a buffing machine. With a little rubbing compound.. Those babies look like new..

So time for some updates, its been a while.   Smash and grab done by auto armor, fog lights had yellow tinted film put on. Rear silencer and twin tailpiece by powerflow. Then about a month ago i decided to start my engine transplant, that's been in the making for the past 2 years now. This is what I've ended up with.  I will put up a more detailed build in the projects section, once i have all the pics sorted.
