bumper swaping

[Corsa84]

i have a 2000 3 door corsa b,i was wondering will the pre facelift bumpers fit the facelift model,

ie i have the model with the v grill that is removable so say for example i wanted to fit a gsi front bumper will it fit my car?

if it does fit what happens with the grill coz i assume the pre facelift bumpers have the grill built into the bumper?

so do i have to do any modifications to get it to fit and look right?

cheers!

shud go straight on mate lots of people do it, and like u say the grill on the early models and the gsi bumpers are built in so u wud have to chop it out if u wana change it.

cool,i would imagine,although correct me if im wrong,that it should fit,even with the grill left in place.

dont think so, the grills on the newer ones are actually attached to the bumper. plus if u look at the gsi kit theres a badge in the way uneed to get rid off, but i wud thinkit wud fit after that. most people tend to leave it as it is or put mesh behind it.

so basically,if i try to fit a gsi front bumper to my 2000 w reg corsa it will fit? but i would have to remove the grill that comes as standard on my car in order for it to fit?

or do u mean alter the grill on the gsi bumper to make it fit?

[matty101]

basicly take the bumper and the grill off and a gsi bumper will bolt straight on.

Post facelift bumper fits a pre facelift without modification, I'm sure the reverse is also true.
