Aftermarket Parts - nOOb question :)

[Blitz_Silvia]

hey all, new to owning a vectra and wondering where is best to find aftermarket parts like k&n panel filters, taillights (would like the cdxi ones), and other stuff?

i found a pair of genuine clear side indicators to replace the orange ones from e-bay in the uk for about $35 im guessing the bulbs would be clear and need to be replaced with orange ones?

Autobarn has K&N filters, taillights etc. If you're in Melbourne, 'SSS Auto' distributes parts to Autobarn and the likes. You wouldn't believe that Autobarn buys the taillights for around $20ish and sells them for up to $100 I believe?!

As for the indicators, yeah most likely.

Yeah no worries, I bought a bumper bar+front headlights(genuine) for my brothers focus and it cost me $300 plus spraying. If you were to get those from your dealer or shop it'd cost you $600-$700 easy.

Also if you are in Melbourne (you havent stated where you are yet), go to Bennett motor wreckers in Dandy, they have mostly Opels there and they would either have or be able to get you a set of CDXi tailights!!!
