Bloody hell, this is all entirely useless!! At least $4000 for wheels on a Holden... nah ah. Won't be doing that at all. Im now reconsidering everything. Ive just got the delivered price from my source overseas who got me my previous grille on the Barina. He's quoted me $454 for four centre Opel caps for the current AH Turbo 18" rims and the replacement Opel grille shown in the pics... which is unpainted!!
So that means...
$454 for the grille and centre caps... (imported)
$282 for the entire VXR look across the bottom from Holden (including honeycombe lower grille and chrome foglight surrounds and bezels)
=$736 including an unpainted grille.
I'm giving up on all of this!! Admittedly they're all genuine parts from dealers, but unless someone can help me with cheaper genuine parts... i don't know what to do. I don't really use Ebay... so i'm stuck

The AH SRiT Holden had on display at the Brisbane Motorshow was exactly the same as the one pictured. Including the price of $3500 for the 19inch wheels (didnt mention anything about tyres).
This week got a quote for new tyres (Pirelli Dragons), and new wheels, as i am up for new tyres. I was quoted $3000 for a set of 4 18inch wheels and 4 Pirelli Dragons (these are slighty cheaper then the DunFlops that come standard on the SRiT)!
If $3500 includes tyres aswell. May well be worth the money. I have NEVER seen these wheels on ANY Astra over here! And i love them
It's RED and it goes PPHSSSSSAnd as good as gone.....
mmm, you could be onto something there, to me they look better than the 19's on our VXR's - it is a pity about the cost, but then all factory wheels are ridiculously priced, you may have to fork out if you REALLY want them, as they're not common, there's little very chance of finding s/h ones floating around locally !
