Needs a bit of wiring loom for the boot, dealer doesn't have the reg so did it off chassis number. Reg they have for it is H9 VXL which I think is a Vauxhall Motors plate.

Here's the same plate on a (newer) Insignia -

Your challenge is to find a pic of my car with that plate on, it's a black twin top.

Car looks the same as this one but L1 is a 1.9 diesel and also the seats are different and mine has xenons.

No way.

That's a sales thing for it, no pic of the actual car but the spec is right.

This is the type of thing -

Perhaps although the luck I've had with it, there's probably a reason mine isn't in photos

I think they're all on a few cars, 20 or so plates and they just go on whatever is new/on demo.

It will be a press car that vauxhall used to market that model. We used to have loads of them up in the back of the workshops when I worked in vauxhall, all with the same VXL number plates

Its got nav and xenons, total price on that sheet is actually what that one should have cost, £23840 retail. I would guess no one actually was that stupid.
