Warren, this the GSR160 or whatever it is? If so, keep the badges and restick them, or are they stickers?

If so, get them remade, you have to keep the badging original on a special edition like that - maybe even contact Vauxhall's PR/Marketing department and find out everything possible about them?

Ahhh so this is where my old dBilas kit is ending up!
Glad it's going to fimally get some use.

Looking good and will look 100 times better with your planned colour coded arches, Graphite Tiggy wheels and the Irmy stickers (which I think you should do)
