the grills are just clipd in
and the boot lock badge is glued on and the holes are just there for a guide so the badge is straight

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 :)
Image

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.

Tell me what you think people, and suggestions are welcome.

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 :)
