Alright all, im after 3 bits for my beloved VX. 1) That silver triangular bit of plastic that fits around the door handle (drivers side). 2) Vauxhall griffen badge for the rear (Silver) and 3) VX220 badge for the rear (Silver) Been quoted a daft price from vauxhall for these little bits so was just wondering if anybody had any lying around that i could buy off them or could point me in the direction of somewhere to buy them from (i cant seem to find them on autovaux) Cheers folks

If it is the thing that I am thinking of, it's called an escutcheon and I think a few of us may have some lying around having taken advantage of a recent CF group buy. With respect to the badges, they occasionally show up on eBay but I ended up getting some from Autovaux.

Ahh, yes, I remember the bit you mean now!! I was thinking oft the exterior handle

ESCUTCHEON 93183338 taken from here (item 5)

Badges are on this page. take your pick

As mentioned to you before, it you buy the VXR220 badges (93182628 and 93183759) and snap off the 'R' it will look much better!!

Hope my baby is behaving for you!! Careful in all this rain!!

Scorpion
A VXT that only came in silver with black wheels and a black windscreen surround. Since the Scorpions are a rock band, it also comes with a guitar.

Cheers for the replys guys. I'll get some bits ordered! Jimmy, the cars like a absolute dream mate! I keep meaning to post up some pics but every time i go near her with the polish it starts raining! Finding the Larini a bit to HARDCORE for my everyday pottering so flogged it and putting the standard one back on. Hopefully it should still sound a bit more throaty than normal with the cat. Might even get an induction kit, i'll she how she purrs when the std back box is fitted! You've sold me a BELTER Jimmy!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOO happy with her! :groupjump:

When you come to change the boxes over, be VERY careful about the little heat shield between the exhaust and the number plate.... I snapped the last one off when I fitted that Larini, and they're a pain to replace. In fact the only reason mine was repaced was because I had free when the rear clam replaced after the accident.

Only playing fella, it was replaced for Ozmosis :lol:

The forum is an excellent resource of info though, you should use it more!!

You fcuker Jimmy! I read that without scroling down (just come back from the pub) my heart sank for a second!

Me and the lad whos buying it off me went down to Topgear in wolverhampton today (a good hours drive each way for both of us) The other lad got down there before me and apparently thet didnt have a bracket or something that they need so sent him on his way. Wasted trip for us both. We're going down again in a couple of weeks, i might ring the guy tomorrow and make sure they have everything they need for next time!

Its a shame, i was looking forward to a nice quiet drive home listening to Steve Wright in the afternoon but all i got was hardcore larininess!!!!!!
