the other option is to cut the slat out and use a zafira lower grill to match the radiator grill like so

Ye his was the C reg.

What's wrong with the gsi bumper as standard? Looks fine to me, if you want to make it a little different then i think spraying the grill bit black would be the best bet.

such a shame to hack a bunch of GSi bumpers up though. I did it years ago, changed my mind about it & bought a new one.
