Hello all, as anyone fitted one of these and if so....how do you do it. Ive got the instructions which are german and pictures but i think it says to cut your old grille out. I havent tried this yet as i didnt want to fuck my grille up. So if anyone can hep me with this would be much appreciated.

You only have to cut out the old grill on the older model Corsa C's. The facelift model unbolts.

cheers all but does still bit weary about it, in the pictures it tells you to cut bits away and leave others for the grille either to mount on or sit on. N e 1 got any better instructions or diagrams lol.

As Mike says, you have to drill holes for the long flat piece of plastic to be riveted to the bumper.
You cut the old grille out by cutting all the little legs that join to the bumper. Smooth them down flat because if you dont the flate piece of plastic wont sit flush.
Once you start doing the whole thing, it will all become alot clearer what you have to do!
