yeah, i wouodnt personally buy an f50 vent, the curve on it is probably totally wrong to the corsa bonnet, better off just buying the whole bonnet, probably work out cheaper anyway

When i fitted mine i cut out the bonnett so it looked like an evo 6 lol then sat the vent on and kept cutting till it was flsh, then sticker flexed it on and pot rivoted it on, fibreglass round it then filled to edge of bonnet so there were no lines
