Easiest way is to just walk into a Vauxhall dealer and order them from their spares dept! (that's what I did!)

:dance: hello mate being an ex pome:o i would say your best bet would be first: "deamon tweek's":dance: , then, halfords:clap: (they bought out "rip speed"),then finaly the dealer:eek: (vauxhall in Britain) the most expencive in my expirience. or just a thought you could try e-bay uk!:)

Dav SRi,

As you say it is mainly badges etc you are interested in, you shouldn't have any trouble obtaining them.

I am also an ex-pat from the UK, and having bought stuff back a few times over the years for myself and friends; here are some cost examples, (TS Astra):-

Badges, Opel flash/name etc are only about 5 quid, ($12.50), direct from Vauxhall, so hardly expensive!?

Tends to get a bit more expensive if it is an 'OPC' item though, (and that goes for Irmsher gear also) - e.g. a regular TS Astra Opel grille costs 25 quid, whereas an 'OPC' version was 53 quid, (prices might have gone up a bit as these are from an '05 receipt).

Also, not sure how long you are going to be in the UK, but if you do have to get stuff from Vauxhall, go in and order what you require ASAP as the dealer I used didn't keep the Opel stuff in stock so had to order it in, (and I'm pretty sure that other dealer are the same!?)

When I have ordered parts, each time they've said that they'd take 3 weeks to get in, but they have always shown up in a week!

BTW:- what part of the UK are you headed to?

Where are Deamon Tweek's, and Halfords?

I'll say hello to everyone for ya :)

[nadg63]

Halfords have shops in most major cities/shopping centres.

For Demon Tweaks just look in an English performance car magazine - they always used to have a large ad. in 'Car and car Conversions' mag!?

I beg to differ, sent them a few emails and they never reply back. :rolleyes:

Maybe it's the "au" on my email address that's scaring them.

[aussie_in_london]

if your in country you just give LMF a call and its all sorted or order online!
Halfords is your store if you wont to chav up your car, mainly use if for detailing gear but not parts etc
but you wont find brand batches in there, LMF or a Vxl dealership is the best place for that or ebay.

Thanhks Peoples, that will give me something to do.
