while we were at tweeks my mate bought some side repeaters for his corsa, started out with some focus ones but they wouldnt sit flat with the wing so we took them back and got the smoke astra ones but he snapped the littleist clip part so i said just glue it later, got back to his misses' passenger side went straight on, tried glueing the drivers side but its like theres something stopping the wires going in properly, its a sxi so not sure if it has a charcoal cannister but surely it shouldnt stop the wires goin in?
we managed to hold it flat against the body with some superglue but it didnt stick, anyone got any suggestions for a stronger glue he can try? i told him epoxy resin lol

Yeah - you need to make sure the tubing out the back is at an angle, not straight.
I presume the Astra ones are the same.
Oh, personally I wouldn't glue in case the bulb blows!

I bought some genuine astra G repeaters off ebay here:

Love em, they look smart on a corsa B! and fit like a suitably sized glove! 
If ya only looking for a replacement I have the old standard orange repeaters to sell for a couple o' quid!

he would need a new single smoked one, to be honest i think its had a unrecorded accident as you pull the wire and you can see tape wrapped round it and the whole seemed just that little couple mm too small

My side repeaters had tape around the drivers side one AND was a bitch to get it. The bitchyness to get in is pretty normal I think.
