Looks very tidy, ABS too

As pointed out about Ben, it's strange about the pre-97 rear.

Also, what exactly is it that make some indicator parts of Corsa headlights go yellow/green?!

hpi means fuck all, they only come up on that if it's been recorded by insurance.

could've been rear ended by his mate and repaired on the cheap doing a cash in hand job. i'm willing to bet money on there being a dent behind that bumper.

Fair play then, you did well transforming the old one so this should be good


Couldnt have been too much of a knock otherwise there would have been damage to the boot floor and boot compartment this you would have seen when you looked in the boot


Knowing a 40 year old womon she probably reversed into a bollard in tescos of something

If you have, it isn't standard and by W-reg they would have been completely phased out. It was the R's and S's of 1997 and 1998 which sometimes had pre and post bits on all mish-mashed.

W-reg was pure post-97.

talk bout everyone being negetave bout rear bumper,

i think alot of cars have been in knocks, so long as it drives fine and no visual damage, hpi clear then happy days!

no big deal havving different rear bumper, i would not have noticed as sure many people would not!

i bought corsa few days back and noticed a broken rear fog light........ does that mean its been in a rear ender?!?! na

I agree - it'd essentially mean that the rear of the car isn't as strong as it should be. So if someone decided to rear end you, they'd keep going because of a weakened rear end etc
