the front v grill is clipped onto the surrounding grill, pops right off, and the griffin badge on the back is held in by 2 pins and sealant, stick a blade behind it and it comes right off mate.

On the first attempt with only 1 minor, result really, now just time to save for deposit on insurance, then im on the road :) and more can happen with the car.

UPDATE!!!!

ive sprayed a few bits up, repaired my spoiler which i damaged trying to fit =[[ and scrapped the jap exhaust :)

first of all, ive colour coded my mirrors, i think they look quite good tbh.

And also the inside part of the wing mirror :)

I tried to fit my spoiler, but sumhow the top corner snapped off, so got sum epoxy glue and filler, and fixed it, heres it with a lil coat of primer on, a few more coats then sand it, will be as smooth as a babys bottom :)

And as i said i scrapped the jap exhaust idea, put standard rusty exhaust back on and bought an exhaust tip from poundland haha, quite funny really.

With the boot cover - do you just pull the Vauxhall badge off? Also did you fill those two little remaining holes? I`m probably going to do this and mirror covers next :)
