Right im going to purchase Facelift bumper.
I need to get it painted and smoothed to Pink,
but im confused about somthing.....
Q) How do i put my current fog lights into the facelift bumper, apparently they sit differently. (facelift bumper is coming without bottom grilles!) so need to buy them.
AND are there different facelift bumpers?
like, some are colour coded fully? and some have the arch trim bit still in black plastic? (which i need) so it matches up with my arches , otherwise i have to go buy all new trim and rear facelift bumper which im not doing!

righty...
the facelift fogs are different so u will need a new set  sri grilles for the facelift come in at under £40 iirc
there are 2 facelift versions9not inc the differeing bottom grilles)
the sri/design has colour coded bump strips and black arches
the others have black arches and bumpstrips
none come fully colour coded as standard
to fit the facelft front onto a pre u can get 2 guides that make it sit better a few quid each from vx
hope this helps

on Stupid corsa c forum..im sure i read somewhere you can adjust the Pre facelift fogs to fit intot he facelift bumper, but moving them slightly?? if iget new ones (dont they cost loads?) then how do you go about wiring them? is it a simple swap over?

All the face lift bumpers were the same, it was only the inserts that were different, be it for a car with no fogs, with fogs, or the Sri style ones in the lower 3 grilles, and the top inserts came either colour coded or un colour coded, but you can take them out and swap them over anyway.

You can probably bodge them in, like you can bodge in the rear foglights if you really want to, they just look stupid  .
If you're that bothered, get your bumper and then try the foglights before buying new ones, or if you're buying from a scrappy, get it with the new fogs and ebay which ever don't fit.

or just get the plain slatted grills instead and save up for the proper fog lights
