i am thinking of getting this bumper where have all you people wiht them got them from i see they are £415 from vauxhall is this the only place to get it. Also why does it say it only fits the post 97 model does this mean there is no way of fitting it to the early corsa b.

Post 97 because of the front grille.
Vauxhall or LMF or Red_SXI sell them.
LMF wanted £360 with foglights - where I picked mine up from.

Don't know. Can't see why not - just buy an aftermarket grille like the Steiny one.
This is assuming that the fittings are the same everywhere else on the bumper - I wouln't know as my car is 1999.

i have a post 97 car with a pre 97 slam panel,
the airdam fits fine, there are just two holes missing on the slam panel for the grill to bolt on

The fit around my headlights is absolutely awful on the passenger side. the passenger side foglight steel holder had to be cut to allow it to fit.

oh and i forgot, i used all 9 mounting points and it still moves shit loads.
for the money it costs it really is quite crap.
loads more flimsy than standard bumpers.

Yeah there is loads of movement at the bottom - but I guess this is good as it means it won't snap as easily.
Mine shows stone chips up so badly its untrue.

They are, which is why when you hit something they don't shatter, but the paint isn't so tolderant!

They are of high quality, but the fitment on the passenger headlight is a little 'off' shall we say!

agree with ian. good, fibreglass bumpers shatter if you smack them, these just fuck the paint.
