Thanks.

Whoever mentioned the Opel stuff, thanks. Spent my evening browsing [ebay.co.uk](http://ebay.co.uk). Found that they had projectors in their headlights, and they have black trim, so it looks like I will be scouting a set of those and an HID retrofit into them. Saves me the trouble of blacking them out. Might also do the grill if I can find one cheap. The lightning bolt looks a little better than the saturn symbol. As for the chrome, it’ll go as i find spares to play with. Right now looking for a black G6/Aura so I can grab all 4 door handles. if i can get those, i’ll change them and maybe pull the side chrome trim. Who knows. Need to make the first payment first.

Anyone have connections to help with getting parts from europe?

I would just confirm it is a direct fit before ordering.

I will ask around on the parts though.

Might be cheaper to get them from Mexico:

Still not sure if they are a direct fit

The mexican Vectra I believe is actually an Astra. In reading some things, it appears they are a direct fit, but so far no pictures of someone doing the swap.

And day two of driving the car is turning out great. Liking the car a lot for a daily, and getting used to the 6 speed auto. It has paddle shift, but after driving manual, those kinda suck. alot.

Just found a pair of winter mats used, but half the cost of the dealer shipped, so hopefully those get here soon.
