Had a minor incident.... Need rough prices!

[Paul_K]

Hi, So hows my luck? Spent three hours cleaning the Astra this morning only to then go and stick it into the arse end of a slower Merc (literally within five minutes!!)

Need to know some rough prices on part's, be they original or pattern. Looks like I'll need a new bonnet, slam panel and the other metal framework behind the bumper. The bumper may need replacing but I won't know until I get a bodyshop to take a look. Also going to need a new grille assembly.

On the bright side though at least I can get my rear arch done at the same time

Cheers, Paul K

Ring Auto Vaux. They offer the most competitive prices for genuine parts. Steer clear of 'pattern' slam panels/front assemblies. I have one on my car after a slight bump I had. We had to mess about with it soooo much it was untrue. Genuine only for that one I reckon.

Hi, Thank's for the advice, looks like I'll stick to genuine parts. Will check with Autovaux but their site seems to be down at the moment

Any ideas where I can get hold of a steinmetz lower splitter to fit on the original bumper? Just been reading an old Total Vauxhall and there is a GSi turbo in one of them and it look's pretty sweet!

Not sure you can get hold of the 'Steinmetz' version of the splitter. There are company's doing replica versions or ones of a similar style. JMS make a nice one.

AutoVaux get genuine parts at discount prices. I'll have a hunt for their phone number. I've spent £1000's with them and they are very good.
