I have a mk1 H reg nova diamond, and i want to change the grill, at the momment i have the big grey one with the vauxhall badge in the middle, i want to have a nicer one wich i can put mesh (or one that has mesh in) or even one with no mesh which just looks nicer but i dont want to play about with changing the lighs etc... just the grill!!! i have got a nicer bumper - off a mk2 gsi i think (the rounder ones wich go down lower) which i am currently in the process of sanding down for re-spray. but any advice or reccomendations on the grill would be fantastic.

Regards,mark

GTE grill is MK1

You can't fit a MK2 grill to a mk1 car.

GTE grille:

GSi grille:

Note the GSi grille slots under the more rectangular Mk2 headlights, where as the GTE grille sits right in the middle, and requires a little indentation in the bumper to sit right.

If u have got a gsi bumper u want to keep the mk1 front end and get a gte grill.
