hehe, nah i updated it myself. i didn't like the old OPC with the yellow swatch through it. so i made my own OPC decal for the grille!!! yeah, i'm thinking the opposite to the turbo badge, at least then i won't have to buy the OPEL badge.

ditch the turbo badge and stick the opc there, and leave the other side clean.

That's how I did it, no 'Astra', 'Turbo' badges to be seen, just a 'Flash' and 'OPC'.

It's great when people check out the car to the point where they have to ask the inevitable "What is it?"

I just ask them what they think it is, to which the responce is just about always - "It kinda looks like an Astra ............". So I just tell them it must be an Astra then! (it's even better when you've done someone from the lights, then there's no way they'll believe it's "just an Astra!" - how can so little prove so amusing ........................ oh joy!!??)

i think the turbo badge looks outta plce, like its added on. coz its a different font and stuff.
if i had one, turbo badge would be the 1st to go.
