Sorry to hear what happened, was that on the M54 when you and Ian C shot past Larisa and me... jonno,? you were ok. Larisa said to me, What are you doing when we got on the M54 and shot up to over 100mph with Ian C close behind, so I had to slow down, [ I did not get the chance to see how Ians car went], see you soon.

jonno,

if it's pricey, let me try and get a couple of quid off it..could run it over to you ;)

I think i'm right in saying it'll need painting anyway..

finally got it sorted, vxl wanted £179 in total to replace the part including paint and labour (how long can it take?) after hours on the phone finally got 90% of it paid for under warrenty so it cost me £17.90 fitted, oh and vauxhall head office are sending me £100 of vouchers to spend at vauxhall. so i'm up in the end....... now what shall i buy????
