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.

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

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?
