Am i right in thinking that aftermarket market silver facia's are a few shades out? Do vauxhall do them (if so anyone know the product code?)?
And does anyone know where to get them from, apart from on ebay?
tar
P.S - Is everyone using the Autoleads PC99-X06 and the cable for the headunit (ie: pioneer one autoleads PC99-PIO) to keep the steering controls?

Mine was exact IIRC. I know my girlfriends corsa has a different shade of silver to my old one though... hers is more of a darker shade.

was that an autoleads one?
scotty - yeah it was an idea, but to be honest i'm not too confident spraying something that if it goes wrong would stand out like a sore thumb.

You ordering your stuff for a pre-facelift? If so, you know what bits you need apart from the facia and steering controls? Wiring harness and aerial adaptor?

the arial is just the normal connector, possibly get one with a short extension on it.
wiring wise, just swap the red and yellow over as normal...Word of warning, if you get a 3rd part wiring harness to swap the cables over, the steering controls wont work unless you put an extra cable in yourself because the harness wont have the cable from the HU to the car
