i tried to remove it last night.. problem is the black backing behind the badge wants to come with it.. i didnt want a nice punch in the face from the airbag

[Anonymous]

oh i got mine off no problem just takes a really fine screwdriver, but once you get it off its very nasty underneath all little indents where its glued about 12 1cm long indents placed around the badge and inside :( i need something to cover it now

Oh, you know, out and about. :mrgreen: Northies, the Irish Pub at Miranda, Cronulla RSL. I'm tryin to con the lads into coming to Carmens with me again, cos I haven't been there in about 47 and a half years! (Minor exaggeration) Haven't been out in the Shire that much lately tho, been migrating to the city a fair bit. :mrgreen: How about you guys?

Hehehehe! You might pick up on my 'Opeldar' now, hey? Hehehehe! :mrgreen: If you see little Ella, be sure to come try to run me off the road. :mrgreen:

ok so we finally got the steering wheel badge on... no need to disconnect the battery.. just grabbed a fishing knife and stuck it under the lions head and it popped straight off..once its off theres ugly grooves left behind.. just covered them with a secret substance hehe.. and put the new badge on.. still gotta buy some of that 3m automotive tape to make sure the badge stays on there.. heres some pics from my camera phone (night mode and indoors is crap), ill post some digi cam pics of the whole car opelized once the sun comes back.

that looks sweet... where did ya get the opel badge from if u dont mind ?

[TopLess Opel]

i got it off a wheel centre cap hehehe perfect fit :)

[Anonymous]

nice work man i so need to get me one of those, i might just use one off the set i have now and buy some after market wheels :P

[opel_calibra]

if you guys want a badge for your steering wheel i would recommend you going in a group of 4 or 5 and getting a set of wheel caps.. if you order the 6cm ones the badge is perfect size... then u all get 1 each and it works out very cheap.. coz i saw somewhere on here that steering wheels badges would cost about $50 each.. just order a set of wheel caps from slimcraigie and take 1 each :D works out about $10 each

[opel_calibra]

oh by the way the badges come off the centre caps real easy and i just broke the little tabs off the back and filed them down flat... worked a charm

wheres a good place to get the automotive grade 3m double sided tape?

[Anonymous]

super cheap auto? i dunno man lol i guess they would have it at any automotive place?

[raymond]

10mm yes but 3mm i don't know
good hunting
:idea: ooo get 10mm and cut it down to size :idea:
