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!

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

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...
