im re-spraying the corsa next week (same colour) and need a new font bumper as the brackets on mine are nackered, i did want a post 97 bumper but can only get hold of a pre 97.
is their any way of changing it to look nice?, will have the cordoba splitter on again.
photoshops would be appreciated.
the bumpers will be fully colour coded aswell.

(old pic)


cheers

Doesn't need anything to make them look nice. Fully colour coded they will look ace.

Edit: I wouldn't change a thing on that car, except maybe if I was feeling daft I'd get the wheels powdercoated white.

right, just de-texture it, cut the bottom grille slats out, so its a bigget hole, then paint it, and it'll look awesome.

i love pre-97 bumpers.

that's pretty much what I'd do, but I'd leave the swage line at the top.

I'd keep the standard grille tbh. But that would look ace. Get someone to PS it colour coded and with the white wheels.

it wont be obvious with the black bumper, you'll only notice if you're looking for it

Doesn't look right to me tbh. Tow eye out is good. But needs some sort of badge on there imo.

why dont you custom mount some fogs in it, not huge chavvy ones, maybe get some from a tigra or something vauxhall, and have a play
