Hmm - some vauxhall dealers MAY be able to get the old nova ones, else EBAY is your best bet.

Personally i like the old rubber type mudflaps on my saloon, everyone else seems to hate them, but living in the wilds of Lincolnshire i consider them essential.

The farmers are a friendly bunch, they share their fields by putting them on the road in the form of slimy mud. Is this unique to my area?

ive seen the ebay ones - thought they were gm ones at first then realised they're not.. so jbobo - u rekon they're worth the crack @ ?8 odd a pair??
Rubber or plastic tho.. ive had jip with the plastic gm ones on my last gsi too - prob go for rubber too i think.

I have the plastic gm ones, and they rub when driving off my drive.
Rubber should be a bit more flexible.

Ive got the current black type GM ones. Astra mk4 fitment covers Novas.

ive never had any durability issues & have used em for years. Usually replace them when the badge fades.

that was the problem with the plastic ones from vauxhall. they scrape on and off my drive and on every single speedbump. but do look awesome, i now have the rubber ones on, sitting as low as poss as i like the front to scrape on the floor round every corner lol. sad i know but i like it
