    Need Opinion

    I've decided to treat the corsa to some cosmetics over christmas at a place called stars bodyshop. She's having a smoothed/flushed boot and being badboy'd on the back aswell. He's relocating the nuber plate into the rear bumber and smoothing off the old number plate light.

    Now here's the question

    Do I get the black trim sprayed black, colour coded (but there might be a colour difference as it's rio verde green which is pearlescent) or he specialises in special paint affects and he said he could spray it black and put a green marble affect over it. Or even a green metal flake.

    Remembering thi is just over the black trim on the front and back bumbers, arches and scuttle panel, could maybe even do the skirts?

    Let me know. Cheers

    Another treat is that i've made some custom led lexus lights for her but instead of having the chrome background it's being sprayed green to match the car.

    badboy on the back will look crap imo. dont do it.

    i would lean towards getting a GSi bumper and skirts and colour code the lot :s

    the trims could be quite cool black with a green laquer, but keep the green subtle

    lights sound like a bad idea, you could get some smoked rear lights, and give them a dust over with the green tinted laquer...

    See if he'l test the paint match on a spare trim to see if the difference is noticable. IMO opinion, colour coding can tidy up a car a lot, and still keep it looking standard
