You'd have to adapt the bumper as well as the grille

i think you could cut the grille up a bit and make the horizontal lines of the 'V' showing, would look quite good i think

ask iviarkgraham for more details as that is his car.

cant find the camera

but that grill was modified and so was the bumper but your best bet if you want a post 97 grill to fit a gsi front would be imo

.. get a post 97 bumper and cut off the bits that surround the grill and then get it plastic welded onto the bumper

on the gsi bumper there is a semi circle bit in the bumper and the rounded edges to the sides of the grill had to be altered

and i had the grill cut so it sat in the v shape put in the bumper
