the vectra gsi bumper isn't the least subtle bumper around to start with, but with a bit of smoothing it doesn't look ott at all:
Mine: (more pics in the garage )
Donna's is another perfect example:
Also, its nice to see you've picked the best colour of corsa around

personally i would stick it on. i really like the look of it. the bumper sticks with the vauxhall styling and fits well. much betta than an ott bodykit. im looking for a gsi style bumper myself so if you do decide to get rid u2u me.

i do kinda like the subtle look but i also want a different corsa thats gonna stand out and make people look,was thinking of texturing the top of the gsi bumper to go with the textured arches. I dunno wot 2 do its so frustrating the last thing i want is to ruin the look of the car! here is mine if the pic will go on not 100% sure how to post pics on here 
corsas lookin cool marshall im going for the black angel eyes too good choice
p.s does anyone if you can fit the badgeless grille onto the gsi bumper??
cheers

im afraid it all one peice of fibreglass. So, you wud need to chop, smooth and respray it. If you do tho, could really look smart and proper custom.
Here's two very nice looking ones (used to belong to rocky and icy):

not a bad idea, it wont look too far from being subtle because its still a "vauxhall look" really being a vectra design. The green one in the bottom pic looks really smart apart from the "brows". Only thing is if you go for that bumper you will need some big skirts to go with it, or you will experience the "snow plough effect" oh well still better than a tacky combat kit!

really like the first of the two pics. think i will go for it and cut it up. as for the skirts ive just fitted gsi skirts so im hoping these will look ok if not have to look around for more. not into big bodykits tho
