dont buy the *brand new* ones off ebay as they are just replicas and dont fit right (usually they are quite a bit thicker at the bottom than the proper one)

Either look for a second hand one on there, or on here, or scrappers locally.

Make sure you get a GM one though if you want it to fit properly

I got a replica one for my 1.2 8v. They are quite a bit thicker and don't sit right flush at the top.

Look at the difference between my sport one (red) and the rep one (grey)

best pic i have

ah right, yeah they can be resprayed for some £££.

Dont think you'll find one in that colour easily so respray is the only option really

Even the Irmscher ones dont fit very well, original GM item is definitely the best option
