yeh you look at the other pics it's pretty nuts. i was trying to decide how hard you'd have to hit a telegraph pole for it to fall on you.

nah the other ones show a pole-esque dent in the roof all the way to the back, and the rear windscreen is shattered from pressure on the roof

yeah, once you take the exterior holden badge off (the chrome bit) and the backing plate (grey bit)...you're left with an opel shape underneath. I'm pretty sure you can also see it just by looking at it from behind too...i'll go have a squiz at my grille as it's off the car...

EDIT: just took pics...
