Can i fit a newer facelift model bumper (after 97) to my 1995 corsa? Is it a direct fit with the bolts etc?

As far as I know yes the post 97\' bumper will fit your 95\' Corsa. I have seen pics of older cars wearing the post 97\' bumpers. My Corsa\'s a 99\' so already has them, does look much better then the older bumpers. :) I\'ll find a photo.

you'd be better colour coding the old bumpers instead of getting the new one because the old one look sweet when colour coded but its an effort to do it... totally worth it though

my gsi bumper cost me 240 quid from vauxhall.
its a bit steep but its worth it (better than these chavvy kits you see about)

Tell me about it.

Those chavvy kits are awful looking tbh.

I would loovve a gsi bumper like but they are like hens teeth.

I remember somewhere on the internet where they were selling remakes of these bumpers but i cant find the bloody web site any where.

Fooking typical...
