Does anyone know if the facelift vxline grill will fit the pre-facelift vxline bumper?

There isn't a facelift vx line grill, vx line Astra was discontinued prior facelift I think The biturbo has the same bumper as vx line I believe.

Yes, Astra VX line is pre facelift, can't say 100% whether they are exactly the same fit but there is a few visual difference that I can see, one is the badge and trim that the badge sits on. The badge on the facelift sits at the bottom of the grill, whereas on the vx line the bages sits at the top of the grill. From looking at a few images on google for the facelift bumper it looks as though there's a small semi-circle notch cut out of the bumper where the badge sits, and at the bottom of the bumper it is moulded to look like it sticks out a bit, a bit more agressive look.

You may be able to get away with just replacing the vx line top grill and trim with a facelift badge and trim?

Biturbo...

Thats a great help mate thanks! The thing i dont like about my bumper is its not aggressive enough looking. I tried to look for a splitter but there arent any to fit the vxline only the standard bumper. I want to change my lower grill to honeycomb but then realised that the upper grill wont match it (reason for this post). Unless i can maybe cut away the black bit and replace it with honeycomb aswell somehow.
