hello

i have had my corsa back for a few weeks now, and its finally all settling in and starting to be as expected!

so am looking at starting to tidy it up, starting with front bumber!

i have a pretty big front mounted intercooler, and at the minute the bumper has been left a bit shody!

Can people post up some pics of what they have done with theres?

just so i can get some idea's of the way i could go with mine

cheers

rich

here we go, he she is at the minute!

before all the mochages come in about the intercooler being not straight and the black tape, these are why i am having a few days! Bumper also dont quite fit properly! but tbh that intercooler was pretty hard to fit behind the bumper but so far my mate just slapped it on after trying to fit it a few different ways!

if some one wants to photoshop this for me, my initial thoughts are:

smooth over tow hole, remold bumper to nice square, square number plate on one or the other side? and possibly black mesh or just leave the IC showing i dont know

dont be too harsh, cheers

also i appologise for have the dirtiest corsa on the road!

Like you say, you should spend alittle time tidying things up. Think the front bumper is a MUST! looks a bodge job if left like that. Good start!!!

it was just one of those things, i really needed to get the engine right first, now that things are shaping up nicely i just wanted to get some opinions of what i should do?

the intercooler was'nt wonky, i think one of the mounts has came off?

He means Late spec I think, as in a bumper from the facelift corsa B from 97 onwards.

I meant late spec i.e pot 97

Or darefit an aftermarket frnt bumpe alltho be prepared for a slating The reiger new bumer is exceptionally tasty, has a nice big hole for a FMIC

Whats the spec on the engine? C20LET? or other? What box you running ? Management? standard turbo?

I agree, the gsi bumper is a lot more interesting, even if you cut most of it away as you've still got the fogs and spliiter. Don't put mesh over it, think it becomes tacky. Just keep the intercooler clean and it'll look nice. Hope a stone doesn't go through it tho lol

I've kept the intercooler slightly hidden on mine just incase that happens. What kind fo intercooler is that?
