Ste the Vectra Facelift's come with Xenon hedlights which are plastic, some of the people on the owners site have used HID in them and they are ok.

It's Janspeed, it has a cat bypass pipe as well, it's still on the car. I think I just need a cat or a silencer in the middle, I'm just looking for a standard backbox. smile

Is 2,500 for the insurance alone?!
