[Edd]

No

[Iain]

One type of GSi bumper.

[L14MNP]

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.

[mowgli]

[Edd]

Matt Brown still thinks there are about 20 different Nova shells. lol

WTF is a mk 1.5 !?!

[stroutsy]

well there is the std mk2 bumper that every pikey on ebay thinks is a gsi one yeah this is whats confusing me because i thought my old mk2 bumpers were the same as gsi ones then i looked at some feature cars and they werent the same. so what do i need to look for ?

[Iain]

Bumpers off a GSi.

[ben doodar]

Bumpers off a GSi.


Lmao! The gsi has a lower lip than STD mk2 bumper

[L14MNP]

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 quite like poverty spec bumpers if they are cleaned up

[vaughanmc]

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