I was wondering if there was anywhere I could buy new front and rear wings for an astra gte? Rather than a scrappy.

Thanks!

P.S If I buy a haynes astra manual will it detail the procedures to remove all body panels?

Are Vauxhall variants worth the extra cash?

Are Hadrian pattern panels not even worth bothering with then?

It's a pain in the ass that their website doesnt display the prices :/

from what Ive heard Hadrian body panels are very good quality. faced with a choice between £90 for some wings next year or £30 I know what I'll be choosing....

yeah i know what you mean brett, i will wait untill i've stripped out the astra so I can see what needs replaceing first I think. It's most logical way to go about it, but at least I know where to get the panels now!
