i see you have smoothed the side repeaters, have you moved them somwhere else?
if not have you had any problems with police or at MOTs etc?

No side indicators is or should be a mot issue, they have to be fitted from 1991 onwards.

I sprayed it black about 3an half yrs ago but had little accident just before Christmas couldn't be bothered doing all the prep to respray black and was bored of polishing it all the time lol I'm rollering the green at mo cause there are a few places need some work doing and i can work on them and then just roller the panel again and i quite like the textured finish think i need a bigger roller for the bonnet though :-)

I rollered my mates red top corsa nato green. Textured is good. We had a tiny roller for the bonnet.
