Most wires will probs be the same like how the Astra gte digi pretty much matches up.

SHouldn't be too hard. Have you got the connector from the Atra loom for it? YOu can just splice wires to it. Harder is fitting the dials into the dash...almost impossible on the MK1 doable on the MK2.

You'll also need to cut out part of the steering column mount, the air ducting and dial cowl.

I was about to say, wiring is easy, it's the amount you cut up the dash that's the prob... Rich did a guide some where...
