Like a buzz? More than likely there's water in something so get someone else to rev it and try track down what it's coming from
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Spoiler is now on its 3rd coat of arden blue! Need to get another can just to finish it off then it'll be lacquer time! I accidentally made some paint run and was like OH S**T but realised it was the part that sticks on the car anyway so alls good!

Test fitted the spoiler since the arden blue had dried overnight, still needs another coat of blue and lacquering, but I couldn't resist :P

Hopefully tomorrow my SMD sidelights and fly eye wrap should arrive! Got the fly eye as it was £4 and I can't afford depos or even afford to try and make any myself :/ I'll get some pics up of the spoiler when I finish it tomorrow and my
Hopefully fly eyed headlights!

That sucks. Got on to the police yet? Happened to my dads insignia a few years back but they took the keys out the house.

Yeah phoned police, well they must have used the trick where you put the hazard light in upside down and get a push start, no glass or anything left on the drive so they knew what they were doing, proper gutted! More gutted about he wind deflectors I bought from you tbh :/

If it doesn't fit,

Does it not? Yeah I've got it on Facebook, my own profile, slamber town, cars for sale in rotherham/South Yorkshire, and modified vauxhall page... I thought that would work on mine since it's the 2 spoke steering wheel and no extras at all aha

Put an ad on gumtree to, everyone on there buys/sells a lot so might have come across it. Seen the same thing of someone putting an ad on eBay to about his stolen car.
