my c20ne gls

Post by joshy94 »

ok so here goes...im a 22 year old lad from west midlands, dudley to be precise. Brought my first car ( 1.0 corsa b with 40'000 on the clock ) in 2013 when I passed my test. A few of my friends and me included are big fans of vauxhalls and this has led me to buying my friends dads gls for £300. it needs some work as do most old vauxhalls but the 2.0 8valve engine has only 62'000 on the clocks and no abuse. will try and upload photos but still getting used to the site as im not familiar with how to use it :)

Hello and welcome to the forum - hope you enjoy your stay!

I believe the panel under the lights is known as the Front end lower panel - 90307418 is the part number.

Hi I don't know what it's called, but I got one from a breakers for mine, there's a nut & bolt at each end fixing it to the wings & a spot welded bracket in the middle behind the grill.

Have a word with Mr McGrath, he's just in need of a couple of doors of pretty much that colour...
