TS SRiT Front Bar ??

[WLD-18L]

Does anyone know where i can get a TS SRiT front bar from ? trying to find one in a wreckers is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. anyone ever bought one befor ?? how much ?? any info would help.

good luck. most chances you wont find it..as usualy astras which are hit from the front get wrecked. whereas the ones hit from the rear usually get repaired.
so hence if you do find a turbo g....it will most likely be a front accident.

Got an quote right here, actually! Holden dealer/s here in Adelaide, new TS Astra SRi Turbo front bar (complete, fog lights and all necessary bits) comes to a grand total of $1659.80 incl. GST, + painting and fitting.

One bump . . . and it's all gone!

I'd love one too, but not prepared to take that sort of risk. Plus, if I was to change it, my insurance company doesn't want to acknowledge it: "We'll replace the factory front bumper on your convertible." Little do they know, that they cost just as much as a Turbo job!

[Ginge]

its not a 1 bump and its gone job. its a plastic bar. and being a genuine bar and the same cost as the vert 1 they should replace it.

try ebay. sometimes they appear on there

your better off buying an after market bar.... there will be less of a wait:p

probably better off getting a front bumper from http://www.carshine.com.au/
they have a shop in Sunshine

i think dave (maloo97) is/was looking to sell his front bar...

maybe PM him?

Yes, I was in the same boat as you about a couple of years ago !

IMHO the Astra G turbo hatch front bar looks better than any aftermarket or any other factory front bar for the TS/G Astra !

After trying to score a s/h one from here or the wreckers for nearly 12 months, I gave up, bit the bullet and purchased a brand new one from GMH spare parts.

At least this way, it'll come up like brand new when all is done :)

Total cost for me at the time was just under $1200 for the lot, including genuine/original turbo foggies and painting cost me another $350.

Installed on my turbo vert, it looks just fantastic (check my sig pics) and makes mine unique to others around, don't know why Opel didn't adopt this bar for both the turbo vert and turbo coupe...

Let me know if you want to do the same, I'll give you a detailed list of all the part no's. and pics as well :)

edit: pic added :)
Just to temp you a bit more, seeing your Astra is silver and a sedan and has diamond cut finish wheels this is pretty close to what it'll look like...:)

if i havnt said it before wraith.... your car is so freakn hot!!:clap:

[WLD-18L]

Thanks for the help people !

Wraith that car is amazing ! those front lights are awsome. love the whole thing. wot rims...... they are massive ! best opel i have seen by far.

would love to do it but cant see myself sheeling out round 1500 for it ! ill keep serching hopefully one will pop up somewhere.

[Wraith]

Thanks guys :o where ever I go with this car, it sure does grab lots of attention :)

Headlights are twin angel eye and projector light housings, there are a few others here who have the same, I've fitted Xenon HID's to mine as well :)

Rims are 20's - one of several sets I have for my vert - if you take a close looks at my sig pic, you'll see that they are different 20's fitted in those pics :)

The car actually has alot more done to it now than when that pic was taken late last year....externally it now has an Irmy slimline boot spoiler and an Irmy 'Latice' style front grille - both look horn bags :)

One day when it's all done to my satisfaction, I'll reveal it in full :)

I'll keep an eye out for you, if I come across a turbo front bar for sale, I'll let you know - it does make a huge difference, in real life it looks much better than in the pics...

i think i can see the wiring looms sitting there ready for the foggys in the SRiT Front Bar. will just have to fit a switch by the looks.

is this correct ?

[Wraith]

Not sure about that one...

When I purchased the entire assembly above, the foggies were a complete assembly, but any wiring associated with them was not included.

On my vert, it already had foggies, so I just connected it all up and use the factory installed dash switch.

Probably in your case in your Astra wasn't fitted with foggies, you might have to get more bits - wiring look etc. but I suspect it should already be there, both the connection for the foggies and the the interior switch, have a check, if it is it'll make thing easiers and cheaper lol, you might just have to get yourself dash a switch assembly.

Appologies if that's what you meant above :)
