    Vectra SRi 150

    2001 Vectra B SRi 150

    Hi,

    I have decided im going to keep my Vectra and was wondering what subtle styling changes i can do to it. Its currently bog standard.

    I like the look of the VXr Wheels on it and debadged grill. I dont want to make it a GSi replica because i believe if you want a GSi then buy one.

    If you have pictures too that would be great!

    Cheers

    Richard

    rear spoiler if not already, clean and buff it to within an inch of its life and make sure all the exterior trim is mint.

    that's what I'd do.

    VECTRA 2.0 DTI CDX

    Re: 2001 Vectra B SRi 150

    do anything BUT dont put a GSI bumper on imo its just the worst thing you could do to a vectra, CDX leather is the best interior for a vectra UNLESS you can find the full leather out of an ASTRA CDX mk4 i think, then there leather recaro's that everyone raves about.
    have you done dash led conversion?

    heres a pic of my dirty diesel .........

    If its L147 ive got a set of door handles.
    side repeaters are the same F/l & pre
    DD or Letterbox zorts are the fav's
    front splitter .... look for a 2.2dti or 2.6sri widemouth front bumper my personal fav
    led rear spoiler are for pre face, the facelifts have a led brake light in the top of the rear window

    then unleash some power from the breathing / fuelling!
    i put on under diam 50's tyres on the front for sharper response with 55's on the back for 16" irm twin spokes
    take off the gearbox sump replace studs lock seal em and put in a good oil + additive
    mine worked well with 10mm quad leads and splitfire platinum plugs - i had step up coils on each lead for bigger spark
    but it wears the plugs early
    i had a remus s/s str8 thro....but my sister scrapped it as left in her garden ffs
    i had slash cut V6 back box that made a big difference to single bore - it rotted later

    i found the pbv + ecotek did work well and reduced flat spots during changing
    others scoff but i wouldnt pay for em new [i have pbv with fuel rail set up £45 posted]

    Vectra SRi 150

    Re: 2001 Vectra B SRi 150

    hi thanks for all the suggestions. Mine already has the rear light in the tailgate. It has side skirts and the Sri twin spokes. Also has the front splitter but this needs changing as its got a peice missing.

    First change is i want to get rid of the chrome grill....makes it look too...um...sensible. been trying to fine an irmscheer one but they are either really expensive or fake. Is there a mod i can do to the standard to debadge or should i Opel it?

    Looking for some other wheels too as im ready for tires...if i can get other wheels with tires quite cheap its good all round then. Can you get a strut brace for the 2.2?
