As im living in Italy for the forseeable future, i have access to loads of Opel parts..

Im hoping to bring a few choice parts back every now and then but im unsure as to what exactly there would be a market for? (mainly parts that differ to the parts in UK of the same use)

So far im going for-

Nova tail lamps
Corsa B Grilles
Anything with an Opel badge


Any ideas chaps/chapesses?

I'd say get proper panels - rear 1/4's - inner 1/4's, wings, doors etc...

doesnt matter if theyre opel branded - the bits that rust are the ones to go for!

Novas are kind of unheard of here (yes, i know thats cause they're called corsa's lol).

But me and a mate are hoping to trawl the scrappies and see what i can uncover. (he needs parts for his Volvo:tard:)

Now i think about it, i assume getting Nova doors in my hand luggage could prove a tad tedious.......

If its just stuff that will fit hand luggage, then just the fittings for the opening rear windows... I could then maybe just have some polycarbs made up or something.

Unless you'd be willing to post?

tbh most small stuff such as badges can be had off ebay.de for minimal cost (even .uk if you know what to look for)

Steve is the man for getting brand new panels from Opel, but scrapyard stuff - if its in good nick - may be worthwhile.

Infact, how much are the nearside rear lights to convert to double fogs?

I may be able to arrange a return journey much like Duicks one.

Im going to email Opel and also pay them a visit and try and get a stock/price list of everything Corsa A.

Badges, lamps, steering wheel horn centres etc.

How about mint european passenger seats to sell as mint drivers seats for UK cars.????
