I've been thinking about this for a while now and I'm still undecided! I have both bumpers, the GSi one needs abit of work but nothing that can't be sorted.
Poverty spec
GSi, although I think I would do the tops and arches anthracite.
What does everyone think?

Pov spec, just keep on top the blackening
Black bumpers goes well with the wheels and bump strips imo.
You could always sort the GSi bumper out then trial fit it and see what you think.

There's an idea, get the GSi done black and have it "pov spec GSi" style

I'm not to sure about doing the GSi bumper black tbh, don't think I'll be trying that
Every time I see a Corsa with a GSi bumper I think its lovely, but its not very often you see a nice Corsa with Poverty spec bumpers which is whats making want to keep them.
Think I'll keep both and change it every now and again

GSi bumpers IMO, but if you want to paint tops and arches anthracite the GSi bumper line will look wrong as it does not continue fully to the arch.

It's been done a few times and doesn't look too bad imo. It can work quite nicely.

Cheers Dan, think I'm going to go with the GSi tbh, I suppose if I don't like it I can go back to the poverty bumpers, I just didn't want to put money and effort into and then find out I preferred the other lol. Looks good on that one though!

Didn't know there was 20xe tbh.
I went wrong in thinking I had an early XE as it has a distributor. I was under the impression all XEs with a dizzy were early and the ones with Coilpacks were late but it turned out that some of the late engines still used the dizzy before the change over to coilpack, so I thought my engine was an early type when in fact its a late one with a dizzy.
Theres a few differences, not sure of them all but on the early one it has one metal roller, tensioner is different and has round teeth. The late one has two plastic rollers and square teeth. I should have just took the belt cover of and checked instead of asssuming it was an early
