Modifications to your Vectra-C / Signum - A "Complete" List

[Woody]

Modding your Vectra-C / Signum

Someone on here asked recently if there was a list of the mods that could be fitted
to these cars.
In the absence of such a list here, I thought I would start one.
Here goes.
I am including the retrofitting of those Vx/Opel options that may not be on your car right now.
I am also including some preface options which can be added to facelift models as well as aftermarket mods.

And of course, a whole range of 17/18/19 and even 20" wheels in all colours and varieties

There are members who have transformed their preface styling and facelifted their cars.

There are also a number who have fitted dual / twin exhaust systems with diffusers.

I have not included Audio or Headunit Changes / Boot Builds / Amps or Aftermarket Bluetooth Phone Kits etc as these would warrant a thread of its own.

I have also excluded custom painting and wrapping for the same reasons.

In compiling this list I fully admit to the possibility of missing a few things off and so please feel free to post up and add them.

As I said earlier, someone asked recently if such a list existed...... Well it does now

[plasma]

LOL @plasma It will be a mod because Vx didn't supply or fit a Rechargeable Torch there

Am going to ask @dougie89 to add relevant links to the post using his Mod Skills

Of course, most if not all of the retrofit wiring for these parts where relevant can be supplied by our resident Wiring Loom suppliers - Plasma & Andy.L

Parts for these retrofits can be sourced fairly regularly from our Resident Traders (see the Trader Section in the For Sale area of the forum) or from eBay / Gumtree or indeed finally from Vx / Opel main dealers, (although this is often the most expensive source).

I've got a nail in my tyre. Is that a mod?

Vx didn't fit it!

[RichM]

Good list, a few things there still to do.

One to add for the brave, fitting a sunroof

[Woody]

Yes Rich

So, although I've only seen a couple of Sunroofs added as a "mod" they have been done, so deserve a "place" here. I also overlooked our Heko Wind Deflectors so will re-post the list with these added when the post has been read a few more times and possibly added to

[troutybrown]

Bigger brakes?

[Sebastian]

Park Pilot ....

[Woody]

Park Pilot is on the list at about number 7

@Woody, surely this list is irrelevant. Just direct people to the index of how-to's
