Got mine from LMF at traxx lasy year, only £12!!!! if you can wait till PVS in the summer you will save a few quid! Easy enought to fit although you can see them slightly between the bonnet and wing.

My vectra had them fitted as standard but a mate fitted some aftermarket ones to his Astra and they were rubbing the paintwork away -- he may not have got them lined up properly.

I fitted mine with the thiner part on the wing, it was ether in the instructions or read some where that they need to be that way for the oil to lubricate them properly. Basicly fit them so it looks like there upside down!
