im wanting to to a gsi rep but unsure what bumpers i need. please help as im so confused, cheers
Depends if it's the pre facelift GSi on a mk 1.5 shell. The swage lines are 1mm deeper on the post facelift mk2.0 bumpers.
Ask Matt Brown lol
/Needless confsuion.

Bumpers off a GSi.
Lmao! The gsi has a lower lip than STD mk2 bumper
Bumpers off a GSi.
Quote for truth. They're deeper/more angular and have a towing eye cover. P!ss easy to spot the difference.
lol @ Edd. Only MB knows!
Mowgli, I think they have that yeah, as well as a slightly different colour pigment.
May I just add that mk2 poverty spec bumpers are t0ss. :)

MB is confused about the way we call corsa A's.
we call a early mk1 an A1, a late mk1 an A2 and the mk2 we call A3.
it's not official, as it is a1, a1 facelift and a2, but it's common to say a1 a2 and a3.

I think they are nice in the original grey but painted is shocking hence probably why no-one paints them lol
