Hello everyone,

I recently reversed my Astra SRi into a concrete pillar in a car park :oops: shattering the rear driver's side lenses. Just the plastic cover - the bulbs are fine and no other aparent damage apart from a thin scratch on the bumper. I was looking for aftermarket replacements I stumbled onto the old msn site, which brought me here! :)

ps. I'm still looking for a set of tail lights - preferably the black Irmscher ones :)

Edit: I've now gotten a set of Sri-T tail lights. pretty cool. now for the front... :)

Yep, I think the dark tinted ones look great.
