I've been thinking about getting my 5dr fully colour coded, but I would like a subtle kit on there in the near future.. and I love the GSi looks. I'm thinking I might just buy GSi bumpers and arches instead of paying to have the orangepeel effect removed from the originals and then have them repainted.
Just wondering what I'd need to get/do in order to fit a GSi kit to my car.. Am I correct in thinking that GSi bumpers and arches from a three door will fit a 5dr? I will be getting 5dr skirts from tuning.co.uk. Is there anything else I need to think about? Also, how much do you think a bodyshop would charge to cut out and fill/smooth the badged grille?
Cheers for any help lads..

You could ring vauxhall themselves and see if someone knows if it will fit?

Well the size of a 3 door and a 5 door is the same so the bumpers should fit ok. Front arches should too since 3 and 5 doors are the same at the front. Only worry could be the rear if the 5 doors use different rear arches but to be honest, they all looke the same to me.

Yeah, cheers mate.. I have heard though that 3dr skirts are a little short on 5drs and require some modding, but they sell 5dr replica skirts anyway for the same price. I think I should be alright just getting GSi arches, bumper, and 5dr replica skirts then.. 
Does anyone know about the grille, roughly how much that'd cost to get debadged and smoothed in?
