As per the title. Whilst I would prefer black or silver, I will consider any colour if the price is right ;)

Thanks Mandarin - after the first 20 pages or so of "Opel Speedster", I got bored, having still not seen any! I have just rung Autovaux: A pair of ears alone are about £65+VAT+delivery which is less than I expected. He said the housing is £200+ per side. He seemed to think this was an internal part but he wasn't too sure ... so nor am I :wacko:

The black plastic inner slatty bit (yes thats the technical name!!) cost me £35 from Autovaux a couple of weeks ago. So it sounds like the housing is the body coloured shrowd...

Ah, thanks. So brand new total ear assemblies are going to be over £500 new from Autovaux then. That's the 'new OEM' idea scrubbed, lol.

A big thumbsup and 'Thank you' to Joe 589 who found me some on fleabay. They do not have 'VX220' in the title and so I had missed them.

Black GRP and need painting, which is fine by me. I will probably just bang a coat or 3 of satin or gloss black over them as I fancy the contrast. Will then revert to clear stone protection.

There are some CF ones on there which will go for a bit more than I paid and then still need £65 of grills in them. This was a bit rich for me as I am not particularly into CF and have no CF bits anywhere else.

I think the ones I have bought are quite pricey but they were conveniently available!

Do they definitely have the "grille" inserts pre-fitted or moulded into them, then? I know when they've been mentioned before nobody was entirely sure. Will be interested to hear how they fit (as the MVS replica's were meant to be pretty ropey).

It shows the grills in there so they better be ;) As for fit - baited breath and all that ;)
