Girls and boys, I Slimcraigie Will no longer be able to supply Opel parts to the world..................... It is with sad regret that I have handed my notice in at work to go and work for a company that will appreciate me and pay me what I am worth..... www.thecarpeople.co.uk I will still have contacts at vauxhall and opel but may struggle to supply parts to the degree that I have in the past, So if I can help people out I will as I am still a member of this forum and still drive my Zafira and still feel able to have input with you guys as I have made many friends along the way :D Booh ooh

Opelcraft still continues as normal as that is Kerry's (My lovely wife) business but it will mainly be restricted to what is on eBay and will probably involve more craft stuff and irmscher bits than opel parts :(

How long do we still have to buy opel parts from you?

This is very sad considering probably half the opelised cars in australia have badges from you.

Well done Slim and congratulations on your new position, hope it all goes well for you. I know from this Forum's response you have become a valuable asset to members on this site and will be sadly missed (as a supplier of all things Opel).
We look forward to your continued banter and involvement in this club.

Good luck!

Yeah cheers mate. My stuff got here safe n sound too although customs hit me for $55 import tax. :(
Have to say that I rated your packaging. Very professional job on that front mate. I did pay lots but whoa it was impressive. Excellent job!
Now to work out how to fit my centre console.
