Was just wondering if anyone has rebadged their Holden to Opel, only to have some envious prat deprive you of them after all the hard work you went through?

No, I'm thinking about putting in an order for a complete set of badges and am afraid that I'm gonna end up in tears.

This is the very reason I haven't ordered mine yet, especially when I was quoted 25 euro per wheel badge for my Corsa SRi!!!

just hook up an electrical current to the badges so if anyone touches they get zaped! :twisted:
just remember to not touch them yourself :mrgreen:

Have been completely OPELIZED for over 6 months now, im always worried someone will steal or deface them but so far nothing. I superglued a nail to hold my grille badge as they are easy just to click off.

Had mine on for a couple of months and all is ok, Granted the car is garaged Monday to friday and doesnt move again until Saturday, But still no one has tried to take them, I have a mate who has had his on his Corsa b for 6 years and are still there!

you have to be a bit sensible about where you leave it i guess me thinx. im pretty paranoid about the stereo so i dont leave the car on the street at night etc.. would rather pay for secure parking than leave it around people

Well ive had opel badged cars now for about 6 years and never had a problem with them going missing , but it depends on your area i suppose.

hey all,

my prev sri was completely re badged w/opel badges(bar the airbag one) and they were never tampered with, even when the car was broken into and had the majority of my stereo nicked(primary reason for changing to turbo), most ppl didn't even know what they were.......... :roll:
