I found Astra ones didn't fit properly on the driver's side, there was something behind the wing so it wouldn't clip in

To the OP, buy standard Mk4 Astra 1s from the scrappies, and smoke them yourself with a little pot of modelling paint. Costs couple of quid from a modelling shop or you can buy it online. Think is Tamiya stuff. Done a few sets on previous Mk4 Astra's ive had. The more coats you put on, the darker they go.

This stuff....

Not expensive no, but he is having problems with them not being smoked enough. And the pot lasts ages so can do plenty other sets in the future. Looks good on foglamps too.

Dont buy off ebay if its that seller that has sold loads and does them for loads of cars bexause he is a right wanker. Sent me a set out and one was dodgy and he was a class A cunt about it basically calling me a liar etc.
