I have the standard corsa b bumper the one below 97! I have cut out the standard vauxhall grill and want to fit another one in there. I have looked on ebay at two types, but i dont know which one would be easyer and best to fit? 
(A)
(B)

Neither will fit your bumper perfectly as it is pre 97 (unless you've got a post 97 recently).

I know none of the above are advised as they are made for pre 97, but as u can see the only reason for that is due to the fittings underneath the grill's where they clip in, but if i was to make the holes in the bumper for those to clip in, wouldn't it be ok?

The secone one will fit better than the first but neither would fit perfect.
Just get a post 97 bumper probaly like a tenner in a scrapyard.

there would be a gap at the edges, would be less noticable with the slated one

The grill isn't the same shape. Fixing it is not your problem. You'll have gaps at the sides.
