I saw it before, and i knew about it, now seeing as my £50 project corsa needs basically a whole front end i thought WHY NOT???

your not wrong deano...
tigra bonnet, slampanel, headlights and 2 wings and a bumper needed, and alot of welding, and filling....
I thought the wings would bolt straight on but i was very wrong.
![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00897.jpg)
As you can see i had to cut the corsa wing and weld it to the front of the tigra wing, this was the only way to do it as the door gap was a mile off i could get my hand threw it! So yeah had to cut and weld them together:

![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00903.jpg)
The bonnet was then trial fitted with the wings:
![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00898.jpg)
To get the wings to sit right against the bonnet the inner wings had to be "modyfied", because the tigra wing is more curved at the top, I had to cut a slit right down it and then squash it round and then re-weld it back together, this was then all seam sealed etc...
![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00940.jpg)
The old front panel was then cut off and the new one trial fitted then welded into place.

![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00941.jpg)
The headlights were then fitted to see how they lined up:

![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00907.jpg)
![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00908.jpg)

![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00912.jpg)
All was then welded up and then the engine bay was prepped and primed:

![](http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g207/vauxtillidie/Corsa%20SRi%20Pickup/DSC00943.jpg)
The wings were then bogged up and sealed etc.. and then primed too:
