    Pissed Off - Help Me!

    My Corsa Prowler Extreame Kit came through yesterday, and when the body shop went to line up the front bumper, it dont bloody fit!!!!!!!

    u know where the headlights are, and uve got 2 plastic strips (1 either side) coming up from the bumper on the inside of the head lights, well they are too far apart and so it wont fit!

    has any1 got any idea what to do?

    who will fit this body kit for me at a good price?

    Its very rare that an aftermarket bumper will fit straight on, as beacuse they are made in large numbers the quality deteriorates to lower cost.
    easiest way will be to make new mounting points on the bumper, or do some serious mods to it.

    Choose the 2nd option, that way you can have a one off

    a bodyshop... the one you took it to?

    they regularly rebuild cars which have been smashed, so im sure a bit of reshaping a bumper wont be out of the question..

    im pretty sure its the kit for the corsa

    i went up the body shop today to have a look, he said theirs no way to make it fit, and i agree

    u know on a corsa front bumper, u have 2 bits of plastic that go to the bonnet on the inside of the head lights, well they are too far apart and wont go inside the head lights, but the width is perfect

    they must of made a complete bodge up and the factory or something cos it just dosent go

    Ive never heard of the prowler kit for the corsa.

    If its not gonna fit and your local bodyshop say this then possibly return it to the manufacturer telling them its crap,

    Either that or try colourworks bodyshop or chameleon automotive.
