My sri was falling to bits and i thought it was time for a new car, and this popped up locally to me.
Classified pictures
Its a t-reg, 1.6 sport, really happy with it for what i paid.
I got straight onto fitting some bits from my old sri, like wind deflecters, wheels, morettes. aAlso got some spax suspension and got them fitted.
Pictures so far.
Ive got a piper stainless steel centre section waiting to be fitted, some rear camber shims and im waiting for a stainless decat to turn up. hope you all like comments welcome, and ideas.
cheers ant

Did you smooth the rear yourself or did you buy it like that? If so, where'd you but it?

Which are they from?
If its a Vectra, the calliper will need grinding to fit behind the cesaro's unfortunately - trust me!

Myself and Linch both have Vectra callipers, and they both needed a small touch taking off them to clear the inside of the wheel. Don't know if there are different Vectra callipers though
