bought a corsa, now looking at other corsas, there seems to be alot of gaps around the headlights, not sure if you can see from this pic, but can anyone see where the problem may lie? is this common?



a full res pic can be found here:

the headlight could be a copy and not a genuine vauxhall part.

i had this when i had a crash, the panel behind the lights had been pushed in pushing the head lights down.

so it may have been in a head on collision.
i had a panel beater push them out to sit right.
