I saw it before, and i knew about it, now seeing as my £50 project corsa needs basically a whole front end i thought WHY NOT???

your not wrong deano...

tigra bonnet, slampanel, headlights and 2 wings and a bumper needed, and alot of welding, and filling....

I thought the wings would bolt straight on but i was very wrong.

As you can see i had to cut the corsa wing and weld it to the front of the tigra wing, this was the only way to do it as the door gap was a mile off i could get my hand threw it! So yeah had to cut and weld them together:

The bonnet was then trial fitted with the wings:

To get the wings to sit right against the bonnet the inner wings had to be "modyfied", because the tigra wing is more curved at the top, I had to cut a slit right down it and then squash it round and then re-weld it back together, this was then all seam sealed etc...
