I only seen what they look like on the move from the rolling shot Danny.W took from the northampton meet. And if i do say so myself they look pretty good on the move. Lol Cant believe how many times ive been told good things about the wheels and asked to sell them. I havent got enough fingers and toes to count. Lol

Cheers mate. If do find the badge let me know and we can come to some sort of agreement on price. The other badge ive been offered has a back ground and the laquer is peeling so not sure i want it. If you dont find yours then it will have to do.

One of my favourites bs IMO, not over the top and looks so subtle. Those twists look fantastic mate. Not sure if you've said but you sorted the boot lid yet?

Many thanks. Lol As far as the boot goes, no i havent had it done. Been buying bits and bobs to Opelize it. Lol and getting new brakes and stuff. Im more interested in the mechanical side of things at the min but getting the boot and bonnet reprayed soon just after ive had paintless dent removal done. It will all be done for pvs where people will be able to see it in person.

Small update. Ive been collecting some Opel bits to change my car abit. Recieved my brand new rear mud flaps a while ago, and an engine cover. Then today my grill came. So i fitted my grill and engine cover so the front ends sorted. But i desperatly need a badge for the bootlock so i cant really put my mud flaps on with a vauxhall badge.lol Heres a few pics of my grill and engine cover.
Ignore the state of the engine bay and car. Havent had time to clean it as ive been working 6 days a week. And im working on a building site.lol

You are my hero. I have to ring them for some new rear shoes so may aswell order a badge at the same time.

Im a happy chappy today. After some advice from shadyche i have now ordered an Opel badge for my bootlock so i can get the rear end sorted out once it turns up. Also ordered new rear brake shoes so when they arrive they will be fitted along with my 256mm discs and pads i bought. Might have some stopping power again soon.lol

Glad you've got it sorted mate! Noone ever thinks to contact autovaux! And to be honest mate my steering wheel badge is still vauxhall at the moment, it's much much smaller than the boot badge, but they pop up once in a while on eBay and in breakers yards, best to just keep an eye out!!

I ordered a few things for the car the other day to finish off opelising my car. Firstly i ordered a badge for my bootlock from autovaux who said 7-10days(this was monday) and it turned up yesterday. Lol
I also ordered an Opel sticker/badge for the steering wheel as i cant find a genuine Opel airbag. This came yesterday too
And after putting my Opel engine cover on i realised my oil cap was shockingly filthy so i ordered a new one.
Before
After
Need to fit the rear badge and brand new Opel rear mud guards at the weekend. And the Opel badge for the steering wheel and its all Opelised.

Love it. I nearly bought that front grille but he couldn't open the bonnet on the car it was on then I sold up haha.
If I ever get a b again it will be opelised straight away. Always looks nicer!

But i still wasent that excited to get out there tonight to do it. Lmao It will deffo get done this weekend along with my rear mud guards and steering wheel badge.
