afraid not, it will leave two holes in the bonnet, id say remove the V Grill but again your faced with a similar problem.

Keep your eyes open for a early bonnet. Until then if anyone asks, you really love Vauxhall lol :D

Has it been involved in an accident? either that or the old bonnet was rusting.

the previous owner said someone drove into the front of him hence the bonnet, i think the front bumper is new cos there is a slight gap between the lights and the bumper...i wasnt bothered like just wanted the car so badly haha...bought it for 150...he wanted 600 for it but took out his 10 cd changer and dropped the price cos i loved the car so much haha....

Actually i got it the wrong way round, it's the early bonnet that has the badge and the later that uses the V Grill.

Thought i'd add that before someone shouts at me.
