I know there has probably been 100's of threads about these before (although I couldn't find any after searching), so I'll delete it once I've got an answer.
Does an Irmscher grill for Corsa B actually exist as I can't find one anywhere on the net?!
If not, the mounting kits that come with the Irmscher decal badges, do they fit on the cheap slatted grills you get off eBay? If not, where the hell do I get a grill that will work the with decal!?

No I know that, but just wondered how, because the grill obviously has slats BUT the badge is flat!

That's exactly what I wanted to know - so all their Irmscher badges with fitting kits work on the slatted grills?

no the badge sticks to a black piece of plastic which is made to clip over the grille slats, the badge sticks to the plastic via self adhesive and then you use the glue when attaching it to the grille.

Excellent, what I wanted to know. Just wasn't sure whether the bit of plastic the badge sticks to would actually fit on the horizontal slats only, or needs vertical ones too!
Will delete the thread in a while, just in case people post anything else.
Matty G - I don't think they do, I've been searching for ages!

will probably be cheaper to stick a badge onto an ebay cheapy than get a real irmscher one, cant see them being cheap even if you do find one

That is what I've done - decided on the 'I' decal (which comes with a mounting kit) then a slatted grill. Decal from LMF, grill from GBK Performance on eBay!

Ordered some smoked side repeaters too. Just going with that for the time being - plans in the future are black headlights and a shorter aerial. I can't afford to do anything else and don't want to do anything that will affect my insurance.
Just thought I'd tidy it up and make it look a bit personal - I may be u2u'ing you Jay if I'm in shite and can't do one of the mods  read through Haynes though and everything seems pretty straight forward!

Those headlights look like someone has had a go at painting them themselves 
Buy FKs or Artebs.

Yeah if you get stuck give me a shout! Although i cant see you having much trouble fitting those bits, pretty straight forward.
Should look good with the bits done that you've listed

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=331728 - they look good on quite a few cars and are made by Depo apparently 
Jay - yours look similar to the ones I posted!
