Can you change the grill on the pre Cs? Always thought they were attached to the bumper like pre corsa bs

The chrome V will be plastic welded on - he'll have just removed it and bonded it back on I suspect.
From what I remember you could only get a Steiny grille as a replacement on the pre facelift which included a plate you fitted across the top of the bumper / bottom of the grille which hid the cutout.
Get a post facelift front on there

Do the facelift bumpers just bolt straight on? Im assuming i would need a facelift rear bumper too, what else may be needed?

dont have to have the rear aswell, i think what he means is that if u want the irmy rep grill it'd be easier to just change the front bumper as opposed to cutting your one out

is it just a straight swap over or is there cutting and fannying around involved?
