      As Kev says most seem to use the Astra G ones as the fit VXR's & Astra H with the XP pack

                I put them on my vxr which has 19in wheels. The back ones fit easily the front ones are a nightmare you have to cut the metal support off and trim away part of the mud flap and ridges to allow full lock on the steering. If you require more pictures or advise i'll try to help. From memory i think they cost £19 a pair (as long as you don't cut too much off and have to buy a second set of fronts)

                    Here's the pics if you need any more info let me know





                    All you need is to make sure you have a good sharp knife. For the fronts cut the back of the rivets off to get the metal plate off. Then cut the excess off the fixing holes on the badge side to make them flush. All you can do is take your time and plan where you are going to cut. The backs were really easy in comparison just make sure you drill through into the bumper to get a secure fixing.
