if u remove the lion badge at the back. there will be 2 holes left. coz those holes are used to guide the badge into position. u'd have to get a panel shop to cover them up and make'em look flush

hope that helps

the rear middle badge on the astra has lug holes for the badge to be secured, but the other rear badges are double-sided-taped on.
and the grill badge is secured with 4 clasps.
so if you want to take of all your rear badges you need to find a way to cover the lug holes.

On the topic of badges I ordered some from ebay - different sizes because I didn't know what to get. So now I have some spares - 2 opel flash badges and maybe a couple of others.

Watch this space :)

Were you the one standing outside my letterbox today?

No no no, they are getting removed so temporarily there will be no badges on the tailgate until the flash goes on.
It will look like this:

without the SRi tailights and twin pipes.

Has anyone completely rebadged their Holden?

Stock alloys have the lion on them...
Steering wheel...

Do you need a new grille or can you just swap badges on the front?

I wanted to do front and back if anything...

to get your badges off get some fishing wire and slowly peel off the underside of the badge. then use sum turpentine and elbow grease for the rest :D
