Why ?

[Edd]

To me this does not makes sense,

Headlight protectors like THESE (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290396109781&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) go for stupid money.

Still got 5 days to go so would imagine that will go for bout a ton. (like others on the bay recently)

Seen a few sets on here for stupid money too.

My problem is they are called 'headlight protectors', for the price these go for you could smash and replace both your headlights 3 times over.

Also they look gash.

Makes no sense at all to me.

Am i on my own thinking this ?

[sparkie1401]

i think they look good, i assume they are a no longer available from the dealer but yes i agree they are crzy prices

mine aren brand new and were £19 approx in 2004/5

ive seen Mk1 ones advertised at £80, WTF

kind of agree Edd

[lewisvalver]

i dont see what the fuss is about them either,dont understand why people pay silly money,must be the little vauxhall badge that does it for people:roll:

[vaughanmc]

Not too my taste either - Water gets in behind them, heat from the light makes it steam up and therefore loses some of the light making visibility less...Pointless things!

[Stuart]

a very rare optional extra... people like optional oem extras.

same deal as original wind deflectors, car in front of the gazebo at trax had them on and at least 2 people asked about them while I was sat there.

Haha was that a Red GTE by any chance. Tim Jones off here :)

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: i NEVER had thid problem

[AlexW]

Its something to add to the spec list lol

I had them because i got them uber cheap (even during the massive rush to get them) and i dont mind saying i sold them on for a lot, but they were fitted to my car for 6months and i keept being asked about them.

No real point in this day and age though. Even more so when you can get a pair of used lights for £10 a pair.

Don't think so, black GTE with genuine GM opel printed ones?

[Benn]

I picked up a set from ebay, not gen stuff and i didn't know gm made them for a nova. Mine cost 15 notes. Hardly used them. Went off them too.

[mayhem]

:eek: opel made them?? Never seen or heard of Opel one's.
sucks i didnt know about the wind deflectors, i had a Opel set on my gte, but i binned them. a well, you live and learn lol

[Benn]

Hang on, looking at the ad/pic they look the same as what i have, rare or gen i dont think so...

At that rate I've got £300 worth in the loftlol
It is crazy money and I wouldn't pay that for them but there is obviously people out there that will hence the price.

[Pete]

i personely like them, would never pay the prices they go for tho,
if i was to see a cheap pair for sale then id happily have them :)

[vaughanmc]

What do you mean Benn - Aren't the ones in the ad and yours the same ?

[sparkie1401]

Wind deflectors were opel on the black GTE, not headlight protectors.

[burgo]

Yes that's what i mean. They are both copies of this "real gm" ones i've never seen. All the ones i've seen are the same as mine.. Meaning none are gen stuff and worth about 15 quid.

*goes to garage to wash the track flys off them... and wrap in bubble wrap to sell on for millions...*
