Just one question how much did it cost you for the opel badge on the steering wheel.

Looks better, although you need Irmscher parts to justify the badge

**I'm not stirring s%&t or anything**

Just had a look at the pix, and to me the badges seem slightly lobsided.
Is that the way the badges are? if so cool.... Only reason I noticed this was i did the same thing on my ole Sri and i lined up the badges with the body work.... from a distance i could tell my was lobsided.

Might just be me but.....

Much better than the holden badges but

i stuck the irmscher badges facing slightly upwards!

this is because the boot gos slitghly upwards, so it follows the boot design!

the flash badge however is perfect as it has to guide holes to line it up!

Looks excellent. I've got an Irmscher badge here that I won but I'm not going to put it on my Astra because I don't have any Irmscher parts on the car. :lol:

Nice work Freaktown - it looks good.

With the spark plug cover - see if you can source a Red one from a 2.0 Calibra - failing that, just paint it red yourself and put an Opel badge on it or something.
