The other day, I posted a thread asking for suggestions of quick, simple mods I could do to my 1994 Corsa B.

One suggested was a Tigra scuttle panel.

So I've got a couple of quick questions

1) Is this a direct fit (no bodging etc required?)

2) Apart from probably being more black, are there any differences? (i.e does it look better?)

Would like to know answers please as I may go on a quick scrappy hunt if the answers are good!

the ridges are higher, so at a guess improves airflow over the wipers etc, straight fitment, but not any more black than a standard one

But it will be straight swap? I dont wanna go and buy it to find out that it doesn't fit! Just a little idea for somethin to do to my car whilst better money is saved up foir the more pricey mods!
