Gen VX self levelling for V6 estate are £100 retail, £85 trade and £63 Trade Club, each, all plus VAT.  Might get cheaper elsewhere but not so sure of potential quality.

Relatively straightforward to replace - jack up a corner, place and use axle stand, remove self levelling connection, remove top and bottom bolts and reassemble...   :y

I would also check out a motor factors for costs.  Could be you will get a reasonable make at comperable price or cheaper.  The old story - you get what you pay for....  Sometimes you buy cheap and end up paying dear!   ;D

They are about £145 the pair on TC (and must be changed in pairs like all suspension components).  Get a TC card, the savings on the shocks along will pay for it :y

TC, is Trade Club card, its for the trade and gets you a very good discount at Vauxhalls on most routine service items plus trade discount on all other parts.
If you are not in the trade then the easiest way to get a card is to pay £20 and join a club like...

Does anyone know if Trade Club is accepted on the Continent at Opel dealers, specifically here in Spain?

I am beginning to think I ought to get myself one..........

I think that's very unlikely.  and they'll be even more perplexed by autobahnstormers than most UK dealers seem to be.

Can you ask one?  or maybe there is a Spanish equivalent?

Trade Club is a Vauxhall initiative, not Opel, so unlikely :(
