Sorry I thought you meant how much were the bushes. I drilled the rubber section of the front bushes then hacksawed the metal outer ring so I could remove it and the rears were pressed out and new Vauxhall bushes pressed in on a mates press. The wishbones were new though

replaced my worn climate buttons with some decent = buttons and fitted a new dvd head unit....





sorry for the poor quality pics.
Good fix on the climate :y

Think the stereo looks chavvy, and I reckon too low to be useful in Omega. But each to their own :)
