Thought this might be quite a useful thread
The obvious ones that spring to mind are things like the Cav GSI rims & brakes/engines from Astra GTE/GSI
So, what little bits are on your car that started off life intended to be on other models?

Its all the little trim bits that are quite interesting, easy to do & cheap to buy
Might put some Vectra handles in my runabout. Saw that Demo had the electric sunroof put in but I don't think I'd trust that in my shitter, the water leak would soon sort that out

I have a Cavalier engine and gearbox, some brakes off of a car which was a vauxhall with 4 stud wheels, but I can't remember which and a headlight stalk from an Astra which is identicle to the Corsa one
