      If you are willing to swap headlights and grill, you could do a kalos conversion. the g3 is refaced like the 09, the earlier wave and swift has the same bumper in the us/canada market as the aveo irrc. Not sure what the earlier holden had, but it would most lightly be the kalos with a different grill.

      Yes, I could do this in steps. The biggy now, since a truck backed into my bumper cover and punctured/dented it, is, for the money, to replace the bumper cover with another that I can change the other attendant items ( headlamps/grille as is convenient/affordable in the next two/three months ). In the mean, if I have to use bailing wire, rubber tubing, tape, safety wire ( got plenty) whatever to hold the lamps in place and simply leave the grille off, getting a bumper cover from the closest country that would have one is the intent. What countries did/does the Kalos get sold in?

      I believe the cars with the Kalos front end were as follows:
      Holden Barina hatchback (Australia)
      Daewoo Kalos (South Korea)
      Chevrolet Kalos (portions of europe)
      Chevrolet Aveo (Certain portions of the world, like South America. North America didn't get this front end :'( )
      South America:
