hav u looked at the honeycomb grills like i have, they look better than the badgeless ones
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

I used some mesh from halfrauds, but then covered it with some material :lol: I've been working my way through the interior, reupholstering the sun visors, headrests, rear shelf and interior mirror, and decided to cover the grill with this stuff, it looked alright until I drove it. I think I caught every bug and insect in my area on this piece of material :( So now I'm going to try and cover the whole bonnet :lol: screw carbon, black and red dogtooth's where it's at!
