Has anyone else noticed that they come in packs of 20 BUT you need 22 of them. 11 each side  I meen would it have killed them to set the bagging machine to put 22 in a bag.  |

20 is a round figure. You need 6, but come in packs of 5, same thing with a lot of things. Not just Vauxhall either.

When I removed the aerodynamic aids on my Diplomat, some were already broken and most of the ones that weren't broken, broke anyway. Had they not broken, I would have been able to offer them.

Look on the bright side. At least you dont need one at a cost of about £10 but they are only available in boxes of twelve, so thats £120 please . Thats what happened to me when trying to get the diff oil !!!. Luckily the garage in Welling (Kings ?) would sell me one, unlike phoenix in Croydon, worth the trip !  . |

I got them from a dealer on the great western road Glasgow. Didn't have in stock took 3 days to order and post out to me. What you can't get is the blind rivets to fix them on, although you can still get the full sills with the rivets on for £125 + VAT.  I bought patten ones for £12.95 and will use stainless self tappers to fix the clips. |

I got the blind rivets from Andy Clears, enough to do both side with pattern sills. This was only last year so they may still be available. Try him.
