yeah it dont fit and looks pants, you have to mod it into a vectra binacle its not straight foward cobra 148 has done it and the finish look s factory, if ya can solder and understand electrics give it a go, you can put them in as they are but you get a massive gap at the top

Wiring is 99% the same as for your Nova, only problem is that your trying to fit a rectangular dash into a curved dash space. If you put it in as it is you will have gaps in the surrounding area, but theres several ways of filling the gap to make it look good.

First one I did I removed the smoked perspex front and ground the fascia flat. I then had a new plastic fascia fabricated in black pvc, this was made larger than the original front. All it needed was bonding on to the front of the digital dash and trimmed to size to fit the Corsa dash space.
My current dash is a mix of GTE digital display and Calibra housing and warning lights, this fits the Corsa a treat.

Its almost a factory fit. See the cut away parts in each corner, this is to fix it to the original Corsa mounting points.
