Im lookin at changing my standard vauxhall badges to Opel badges. I had a look on ebay and they come in various sizes. I took a tape measure out to the car and the front badge seems to be 65mm diameter and the rear seems to be a 55mm diameter. Going back to ebay they only sell in 65mm, 80mm and 85mm. I dont wanna replace the front vaux. one but not the rear!

any suggestions on where i could get a smaller one?
just to mention its a '95 corsa SRi 3 door

thanks

Just get two of the 65mm ones mate. There should be enough room on the boot lock surround for it to still fit. You may be thinking of the holes in the rear to attach it, but whos to say that the attachments on the opel ones are going to be in the same place anyway, just use an adhesive if they arent.
