i've just attempted to fit the UV Predator bumper onto my Corsa Sport and it dont fit!!
u pay 200quid for a CORSA bumper and u'd expect it to fit on without too much trouble!
i had to take off the crash bar to get the bumper anywhere near close to fitting!! but it dont line up with the arches at all!!
Please someone shed some light on this, cause i'm pissed off with front bumper that i've had!!!

fitting it is a right shit job was speaking to the bodyshop blokie who fitted my mates and as far as i know the crash bar has been removed from that.
alot of corsa bumpers seem to need to be fitted withoput the crash bar and twin headlight indicators require the crash bar to be cut or removed.
quite a worrying trend really especially as most the bumpers seem to be poor quality fibreglass, a small shut can cause alot more damage than if there was a crash bar and as greg pointed out can have far more serious conseqences.

mine was about 6" too wide at either side - yes crrash barrs been removed - but Ive been looking and I dont know why - cause it seems as tho therers more that enough space so its going back on - think basically the quality of the moulding technique is shit too and one bumper varries form anotherr even out of same mould - Ive had to put fibreglassed rrrribs onto the inside of mine to give it more strength - it was too flexible b4
