yep pretty easy job mate open up the boot use a t20 torx screwdriver and take out the 2 screws that are located in the handle you use to pull the boot shut.the panel is on clips so gently pull off the plastic panel.then take a 8mm socket or spanner and undo the 2 8mm nuts then gently pull the boot handle off it's stuck on aswell so don't yank it and that's it one boot handle off
To paint sand it down with different grains of wet'n'dry paper (can get from halfords if you aint got any) until it is very smooth and there are no more bumps on the surface. Then prime it, then sand again with a fine wet'n'dry paper (you might want to repeat this a few times, like I did to get a very smooth surface).
Once primer dried, you can then get it sprayed up in the colour of your car.
Probs from Vauxhall, think someone said you can buy the rear boot handle off the new facelift corsa which is already colour-coded Well I think this is correct anyway.
You can't get them ready colour coded, but you can get them smoothed and primed, ready for painting. They cost a total of £7.34 inclusive of VAT from your local Vauxhall parts counter.
The technical description is G0013122437 HANDLE-TAIL GATE.
It's been mentioned in another thread that you CAN get the boot handle colour coded from Vauxhall. Is this correct or is it the smoothed & primed only?

Does the boot handle need to be stuck back on once it's painted? If so, what kind of adhesive should i use. Sorry if it's a silly question, but I am new to modding.

ok ... done colour coding but the paint turned out to be a little brighter than the rest ... does any1 know how to make it darker? t-cut??? or do i need to wait till the lacquir harden and paint to settle in cause the pic below is just freshly painted and top clear coated (prob less than 2 hrs)
it looks quite good even though the paint turned out brighter but now its much easier waxing lol
I've tried colour coding a few parts black on my car and I got advice from everywhere on how to spray and I could never get a colour match. It's best to leave it to the pro's. I think the number of coats you spray on determines how good the colour match is??
Someone’s offered me a pre-facelift sxi nearside door. Paint colour matches and i think it’s in good nick. Would be going from a 3dr to mine which is a 3dr facelift. Will it still fit?
Also the door strip on the new door is black plastic so would have to take my door strip off and put it on the...
Hi, I own a 04 corsa design, when I unlock my car using the fob it unlocks the car however it switches on my hazard lights and won’t go off even if I click the hazard light button and will keep going until I disconnect the battery.
Anyone have any idea or come across this before? Thanks
This is a question for all the 1l corsa owners out there, anyone have problems with their car shortly after starting just as you move off the engine shudders briefly until the engine has warmed up. Obviously if i take it to my dealer they will tell me nothing is wrong with it as the engine will...
Just got off the phone to my insurance company (Autosaint, part of the Fresh! group)
I'm not allowed to delete my rear wiper.
I asked if it would result in a premium increase, and was told they could not cover a car with no rear wiper.
