haha excellent - strange that you got such bad service because they are a really good company.

No harm in putting it on and having a look - could look ok!

Fitted it, hands are numb - can hardly type.

Does yours have a gap between the top of the grill and the bonnet ? Because mine does.

I'll try find some batteries for the dam camera.

Yeah, it does, I think That is pretty normal because the gap is the same size as the gap on a slatted grill, so just saves putting another slat on.

Check out my garage!

because its the honeycombe sp? grille, you will notice the gap more than just a slatted one. a kamei one will cover the whole grille area with the honeycombe effect, you get what you pay for to be honest.

if i was you, i'd get on to the company you bought it from and tell them they sent you the wrong one and get a slatted one sent out in exchange.

Well i want the slatted one, but they sent me out the honeycomb one - which is more expensive.

I don't like that big gap though and i'm thinking about sending it back for the slatted one.

What does everyone else think ?

I can't spray the bumpers black - well i can... but i can't be bothered. I might just buy some standard ones from somewhere if i can get them for cheap.

The slatted one does look better.

I had a Kamei one on my old green sport and fitted the space like a glove...

Id send it back,as they have lied in the sales description...


quote:

Vauxhall Corsa B De Badge Grill NEW !! These fit 1993-2000 !! They are good quality and they look excellent !!


Blatently a lie,as it looks shit with such a big gap

Get a slated one looks so much better or as mav said a kamei grill,worth the extra money imo

Naaa, I'd send it back Wonderboy (what is your real name? ) that gap looks shocking. Get them to send out your slatted one 1st Class Recorded as they've fucked you about so much already. Ring them this time too, they seem like a really good company!

A job first

I'm asking about a bumper someone is selling. It's the sports bumper (black at the top, red at the button) Hopefully i might get that if it doesn't go for too much. Postage might be quite alot as well.

I would "like" Smoked headlights, smoked side repeaters, and a set a black Cav GSI alloys
