Vectra Mod Bug - Been Bitten, want more!

[Schui1024]

Having been bitten by the mod bug, I'm up for modding my veccy tastefully and attempting to keep it looking OEM (ish)
It's a 56 2.0T SRI NAV in black.

Mods to date-
Sunglasses holder, Airbox mod, K&N, tinted rear windows,
Parrot Handsfree, phone mount + Charger. It's only a week old so bear with me! lol

Mods still to do-
18" or 19" alloys, snowflake or VXR style, not sure
Aux In for the stereo (thanks to the how 2)
Auto Dim rear view mirror
GPS Gatso device
Extra Boot lighting (gets dark in there!)
Footwell lighting front and rear
Colour Code front chrome V Grill
De badge rear Griffin
Irmscher Door Pins
Irmscher logos here and there
Heated windscreen washers
Laminated front windows
Chrome Sill plates
Caliper Painting.. red or green.. hmmmmm.
Alloy pedals... irmscher if I can get them at a good price.

Mods i'm thinking about-
7" Headrest built in DVD Players (ebay job)
Stage1 BSR
Hacking the NAV CD for Gatso POI's (I will attempt it anyway!)

Any others that peeps can think of? I'm not the type to go blinging it up with Chrome handles and such, or the fog surrounds etc. Like it all black with the mods barely noticable unless someones a vectra fan....

mind the pics as you work your way through your list

Yeah I joined when I got my first Vectra C, the silver one on the right.

Didn't do much modding to it, just the bits I've already done, and painted the calipers. That was it. Luckily the pre-facelifts came with a lot more than the new ones do, so it's a lot of retro fitting bits I miss, and thinking I'd like a bit more! hehe.

Am now thinking of changing the dash under the steering wheel to keep the little change box, and the rear center arm rest as its hollow and I used to keep my Vauxhall Manuals and stuff in there. Such a shame they got rid of so much.

Don't worry, I'll document and photo all the changes I make.. but won't put them up until I know it works!..

Parking sensors is another one I'll need to do. Reversed my old Astra into scaffolding and nearly took down half a building!

i know ive said before but the vectra realy isnt hard to park in reverse. and i think parking sensors spoil the look

Totally agree, they're easy to park but when I visit the missus the parking's a nightmare and I have to squeeze into all kinds of spaces.

No drilling or holes for me, going the invisible route.

I'm hoping not. Budget is stretching a long way to do the list above.
I might try a mod box first to get a taste, then do the remap option.

I've gone from driving a 1.8 vec B, to a 2.2 vec c with what 147bhp? to
my 2.0t at 175 which is fun as ****, I'm thinking 215 should be more than enough for me...

I do a LOT of miles anyway so any more power and the fuel figures drop.

It never is - whatever you have, you gegt used to it and want MORE.....
