Was sick to death of my passenger side fog light misting up, And i also realised there was quite a bit of water gathering in it so i took it off for further inspection!



Only to discover that its been bodged!




This is what its missing, Can only think the guy who had the car before me has hit a rabbit or another small creature



Has anyone else had new ones of these for their 'C'?? If so some info on where you got them from would be gratefully recieved

Vauxhall would be your best bet and order the fog light surround?

I had to get a new one from Vauxhall for my C after destroying a fox. It cost me something ridiculous like £70

I broke my splitter (but that was a Seat one lol) smashed the foglight (including that bit you're missing) and slightly bent the bottom of the radiator.

I was luckily at standard ride height at the time as I'd only had the car a week so got away with hitting it and it ran off - if my car was lowered at the time I'd have been looking at a new rad and possibly bumper!

Check on ebay.

I got a new fog light for my Ibiza off there for £5 after one i ran over one of the plastic bags that wraps around pallets of bricks, which still had a brick in it (It was either hit that, or hit oncoming traffic)

Or even a wanted ad on here or one of the other corsa forums. Theres bound to be someone who has took their bumper off and replaced it with someething else!

You do realise that in general they're the pre facelift ones on there? Your bumper is post facelift. I had a look last night quickly on there and didn't find any for that price
