Not exactly, you could go through the hassle of cutting out the bar grille on your bumper ..but unless you fill the hole it looks pootang...so if you're desperate get a post 97 bumper ... but my advice for a pre face lift model is to use back to black stuff on your bumpers (if they are the grey plastic jobs) or on the plastic trim to make it all black and replace the vaux badge on your grille with an opel 1 ... espshly coz pre- 97 bumper is half an inch lower than then newer ones...do that .....then lower it ... looks the doggies danglies ......i like both bumpers and have a post 97 on mine 96 corsa but am thinking of going back to my old bumper and doing the above !!! any way .. good luck

but yeh the hole thats left doesnt look great,but looks better than the bar grill thing lol

first thing ... no.... mesh is soooo 2003... so just keep it simple ..keep the bar grille but change the badge.. if you want somthing different!!!! ...and if you get a post 97 bumper you can buy a badgless grille as a straight replacement for the post 97 bumper !!!!

Yeh agree 100% with above guy. Just do what you want - if you like it then you like it, it dont matter what anyone else thinks of it lol. The easiest way to get a custom grill tho is to get a post 97 bumper and then u can get a separate grill for it

indeed ..that is the bumper you need...... look on ebay to c if you can find 1 the same colour as your car ..but if not get down ya local scrappy .....if you cant find 1 in the rite colour ...get it sprayed!!! then fit the bumper ... then the grille is all yours ...a bumper is probs £15 from scrappy and if its a different colour bout £40 - 50 to have it sprayed and my badgeless grille was only £8 from supernovas...so you could have a sorted front end for as little as £23 lol
so crack on !!1
