opel flash will it cover these holes when fitted or are the holes unique to holdens. Different holes drilled for barina to corsa

the opel flash badge WILL cover the holes provided they are for the Corsa/Barina as the off centre hole is for positioning

Yes it will cover it up, they share the same holes. Which are used to line up the badge straight.

That's exactly why I didn't get mine through or anything to do with ebay. I know some of the stuff on there is good and everything but I actually wanted and did call the guy himself (yes an international call) and ordered it that way. It may have been an expensive way to do it but at least I didn't have that problem you are now facing.

Can you send it back to where it came from then?

My mess up so far is not that bad cos it only cost $15. My mates have done worse orderin stuff from Japan for there Lancers. So i can still laugh at them. I need two bages- the Grill and rear my other one fits right. So i might give that Opel dealer in Irland a ring. Or some one of the Dealers in NewCastle (Rels there). I am stumped. Wat did every one do about the front Grill. Like even when you remove the front Lion wat do you do about the plastic lion shape behind?

Does yours have the chrome grille? because if so... that whole piece comes with the badge, so you just unclip it from the front and put the new piece on, so you don't have that plastic shape problem. You just need super glue with you to help make sure the new chrome piece stays. But don't do what I did and glue your fingers together, ha ha.

I have DG Opels number if you want it?

Nope. I just lifted the bonnet and used a blade screwdriver, because I was impatient, and yeah, you can see the clips from the inside grille bit if you have the bonnet up.

It's actually easy. I thought it would be hard. It was easier to do that then the CORSA Badge

I am looking for their phone number but do you think I can find my Telstra mail when I want it!!! ha ha

If you want to... just do anything to get it off... lol, then once the grille piece/badge come off you will see how it goes :)

well from your pic i figure i have the same model C as you any way. It sounds like it may take a wile but if i get all the stuff it should be right. Wen you got your bages did you order the 1.4 Corsa badge.

HA HA I am not too sure. I got the corsa badge to suit... and that's why Alec asked for my VIN number, to make sure he got the right styles etc.

It is easy, it's one of those things that is really hard to describe how to do it, or maybe someone else can do that better then me. I found though once the Holden badge/grille piece was off it all made sense on how to put it together. I am kinda amazed I didn't screw it up! :)

0011 - that's for a flat rate per minute
or
0018 - that's for a capped rate for 30 min blocks (personally I think the first number will do)
