It's not about money, i'm after a box of screws.

I'll try Halfords as suggested by Steve.

As for nicking them from a scrap yard, these guys are trying to make a living.

Vauxhall don't make their own screws, you could get them cheaper from elsewhere

i have the same problem, want to replace things like arch liners screw, but not going to stick in something meant for wood.

If you know where they're from I probably have suitable ones here.

Strip a few cars, you end up with LOADS.

I've still got a bolt from when i did the alternator

Ian, thanks for the offer

What i want to do with the Corsa is get it as mint as possible, keep it road legal and use if for Track Days and Shows. But has to be done cheap! Screws being missing are just pissing me off.
