Default Vauxhall forums...

What ones are about except Migweb and Astra-sport?

Also what are the best/cheapest places to buy aftermarket bits for them? (ie - Irmscher etc...)

Cheers
Chris

Migweb is by far the daddy of vauxhall forums really.

Most other forums are specific to model, ie clubcalibra or novaload etc


Is there a model you are interested in specifically?

Well I've just bought a mk4 Astra van for work/advertising and want to chav it up a little! Just a nice set of wheels, irmscher grill and possibly some sideskirts (astra turbo ones?)

Want it to look something like this.... (but not that actual one as it been on there for ages and is only a base model, not a Sportiv on HPi!!)

I think that on an astra if its on hubbies its 4 stud.

Only 5 stud steels i know of were the vectra V6 base models.
