If you have a pre-facelift bumper then yes that'll go straight on.

The paint code can be found in the engine bay on a small plastic thing to the right of where the bonnet catch clips in.

Yes, that's the facelift (post 97) one.

You can get a standard v-grille or a debadged one, there are also mesh ones available. See here: http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/store/home.php?cat=1320

Luke, you're too quick for me mate

Btw, I won't be in Abingdon tomorrow any more

Ahh, cool, didn't realise the one in your first post was actually yours.

I would do this:
Get standard rear lights
Change the wipers
Smoked side repeaters
Colour coded mirrors
Spoiler
Alloys that are the right offset
Lower it on springs and shocks

Will be cracking then imo.

Btw, you already have a post 97 bumper so the painted one is the same as yours but painted. You could probably get a body shop to colour code the middle part for quite cheap.

Cool, I already have the GSi spoiler ready to be painted and fitted, and will I be able to get it sprayed with it being a textured surface on the bumper i have now?

Yeah, they'll sand it down. The middle part should be smooth, it looks like the same bumper as I have and it's smooth in the middle but textured at the top.

Cool

If it is textured then they could still sand it, but they'll charge you more for the extra labour etc.

What wheel's would you advise? Just a cheap set that look good. I've been looking at the SXi's, they look nice.

Softstars & speedline's are a popular choice that look great on any corsa.

Cheap enough if you look in the right place.

Softstars with good tyres fetch about £250 - £300

Speedlines with good tyres fetch about £250 - £500 depending the colour ect
