Right I was looking at my mates 2000 W reg Corsa sport the other day, i poped the bonnet and saw to 8mm bolts holding the grille on, which connects to a body pannel (cant think of the name)

Now....

My corsa is a 1995 N reg, there for doesnt have the V grille in as standard. So I thought to myself, ''it might not have the holes for the 8mm bolts to hold the grille in place'', so i looked and it doesnt!

I'm in the process of buyin some post97 bumper's and already have a grille in my room. How do i go about fitting it without the two holes for the 8mm bolts being there?

Any info would be great!
