(Aparently i need to cut the original one)

Yes you do need to cut the original, it's moulded as part of the bumper. Once cut out (neatly) you make a couple of holes to support the top of the irmy grill, and use an adhesive to secure the bottom in place.

Can i get the adhesive from halfords would tgey have it thanks

 

[dragon2309]

Yes, anything relatively heavy duty will do, it's only to locate the bottom in place, its not actually holding it on the car, thats what the two screws at the top do

Something like this would be fine - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_747639_langId_-1_categoryId_255230

New I appear a bit ditsy...my son has just rolled into the back of his friends car and I now have a Corsa with a pushed in grille. Its a 2011 Corsa....do I have to go to the garage and get an expensive quote or is it sometheing we can fix at home? We opened the bonnet and took the four screws out that seemed to be holding the grille section in but couldnt detach the grill section.

Do you have a picture of the damage? It can probably be pushed back out a fair amount if you just wanted to bodge it back to somewhere near acceptable.. But I'm fairly sure that ALL Corsa D front bumpers have the standard grill moulded in as part of the bumper, so to repair it 100% it'd be a new bumper. Unless theres a type of bumper on a Corsa D that I've never seen, lol..

A picture would help.

Dave, am just trying to find out how to post a photo....the round vauhhall badge on the bonnet/grill got pushed through the grill if that makes sense. Doesnt look that bad and if it was a case of replacing the whole front bumper..not worth the expense of replacing.
