As far as I know I am the only guy who currently has these (from the Corsa VXR) in a 9n3. :mrgreen:

I had some plates made as per my thread.

They cost around £100 (material & labour)

Can put you in touch with the guy if your interested.

Or if you have someone else that can do it fill your boots.
