Thanks. I though long and hard about the colour. Before anyone asks - silver never was on the short list!! My family refused point blank to let me paint it the original Tasmin Orange, although some might sneak in somewhere!
I had originally started to paint it white as can be seen in some of the early photos, but when I first saw a mates 09 Astra VXR in Arden Blue Pearl I said that's the colour, not realising that Vauxhall had painted Corsa B's in it from 96 on - and it looks *Bleep*! It must be the sharp defined lines of the Astra that make it stand out. I think the Firenza has enough defined edges to make it look as good as the Astra.
I think it will get a pair of fairly wide gold stripes to match the gold split rims and sort of mimic the Sport SL heritage, a 6 and a 10mm should do it.
