I am new!

[Crimson]

Hey all,

Decided to finally post for the first time on this forum, though I do post on many others regularly. I live in Brisbane, own a 2001 XC red Corsa with one Opel badge on the back and as recently as today I decided to strip the "Holden" and "Barina" lettering off the back but would need a new grille for the front for a new badge. Well anyway nice to meet you all.

Haha :p Parents bought it new but I've been driving it for two and a half years now since they bought a Civic, but it's a nice one and thought I needed it to be that bit more unique.

Cool. The glue is a pain to get off, I had the same problem when I removed my badges.

With the Opel badge for the front, it is possible to get one without getting a new grill, ive got one for mine. I found it on eBay but it wasnt easy.

I purchased 2 x 80mm ones from eBay, the back fit perfectly however I took the front badge off and the grille had a holden imprint underneath so I decided to leave it as it was.

use citrus oil to get the glue off ;). you can get it in a paper towel at some car wash's, also works well to bring up the polycarbonate headlights ;).

Welcome Crimson.

just remember to be patient when taking those badges off as they can become quite frustrating.

welcome just use a bit of black mesh to put between the badge and bumper problem solved cant see the lion underneath

[Crimson]

Thanks for the welcomes, well it's kind of raining today so I'll post pics on the weekend when I go to buy something to get this glue off, but everything is ripped off that needed to be ripped off ;)

I found some free time and as promised here are some pics :) It's all pretty much stock but it'll get me through until I finish uni then I might get an SRi or something more powerful.
