Very useful info. I now know why the headlight I recently accuired from the scrappie wasn't a perfect fit. I best go back and get the other light and grill to match.

got another one the speedo units in the ph1 clocks wont fit into a ph2 set of clocks however with a bit of wiring you can get the ph2 speedo unit into ph1 clocks

You missed out the early standard spoiler:

Blade type, not like the 'mini-gsi' type spoiler.

Ph1 side repeaters are the round type
Ph2 side repeaters are more common oval type

I've also noticed differences in the amount of screw holes on the scuttle panel. My K reg has three lugs, my J reg has two???

 

[astranaut]

Bonnet hinges are different too, i think if you try fit a phase 1 bonnet on a phase 2 a couple of holes have to be drilled?

 

[vauxhall_astra]

on the later ph2's you do

 

[birdy]

the rear lights are difrent 2 the ph2 had slightly tinted rear lights than the ph1.

 

[RazerSauber]

Thumbs up for crazy sleeping bag!

[bipolar octopus]
