Do we have them on our cars? We don't do fog herewink

ETA just looked at the spec on redbook and we do, are they the same as this pic?


If so do you want me to get a price from my local HSV dealer?

Both of them? Are there 2 on each side (large and small) or is that something else?

O/T Chris I've just noticed (assuming your profile is up to date) that you are about 2 miles from my base (Churt) when I'm in England thumbup

If I end up getting one for you I can send it with my parents who are going to my Brother's in a few weeks.

Chris I'm not able to talk to Les my contact at the local HSV dealer as he's tied up with the V8 round this weekend in Perth. I have spoken to the parts guy who wasn't very helpful, he says I need to give him the VIN/chassis no before he can access the parts system (?!) rolleyes but he thinks it is around $150 (!). He says there is no cover available.

I will speak to Les when I can get him (prolly see him at the track) and see if I can do better, in the meantime can you give me the VIN? I told the parts guy that the car is in England and he said that the VIN might not be on their system in which case he can't look it up... and wouldn't be allowed to sell me one... (Jobsworth!!, they're everywhere!)

Worst case, I have a customer with a VE R8 so might be able to use him to get one. Oh and I'm going to a WA Monaro club meet tonight so I'll see what I can find out there.
