It will fit jake,but will have gaps each side.

Get a post 97 bumper to match the rear.

Hows the mrs?

because firstly that is pictured on a Post 97 front and secondly you have to modify the bumper to make the grille fit even though it leaves gaps at the side

yeh the grills on pre97 are a different shape and werent meant to be changable (you have to cut the original out)

post 97 is the one where the grills were changable. but like novagteuk said it will bit but with gaps. (you also have to cut all the clips of the bottom of the grill inorder for it to fit.

not putting a downer on anything but people did say you needed to cut the pre-97 bumper to be able to fit the debadged grille

not a hard job, but doesn't look nice if bodged.

pre 97 bumper actualyl looks cool in black

The grille is to big length ways but it says it fits 93-00 Corsa's.

Plus the holes to fix it on point upwards so cant attach it to the car
