hey guys i'm still here...

[woody]

Hi all, sorry, not been about on opelaus alot for the past couple of months, work has been incredibly busy and the divorce has been taking it's toll, not to mention the new apartment and spending my time renovating that. anyway i still pop back alot but as my unread threads pushed past 300 and onto 500 i found it hard to keep up.

Anyhoo the reason for this post is because i am still in dire need of a rear opel blitz badge for my 2.2 SRI (since those evil little b'stards gouged it off my lovely almost three months ago) I've been to all the usual places (pm'd slimcraigie etc) but it's becoming more and more difficult to find a GOOD replacement and i was kinda hoping someone coupld help... any info would be appreciated.

Cheers

Woodsta:D

[btm]

was wondering where you had got to...

glad to see you back :)

[woody]

Hey Hey!! how goes it buddy.. did your steering wheel mod turn out ok?

[btm]

i still have the badge and your instructions sitting in the car... just haven't gotten around to actually attempting the mod yet... lazy, i know... :)

maybe this weekend!

its the only holden badge left on the car to change

[woody]

Slacker.. it's been months!! Only thing i have left to change are the floor mats.. but i've been looking for opel ones for over a year so i'm in no hurry.. oh yeah and then rear badge...

[mr_sikma]

[btm]

when slim was still our opel dealer, i did a group buy with caspers and crispy.

hope this helps :)

[woody]

anyone know what the part number is for the rear blitz badge on the astra?

[oneightoo]

welcome back woody!

havent seen you round the cove much lately either!

[woody]

Still there mate - i bought on longueville road. If you're heading down longueville from epping road, as you go over the first set of lights keep an eye out on the left you'll see my baby sat on the street.
(i would put her in my garage but unfortunately the skirts are too low for the angle of the entry! grr!)

[woody]

Jeeeez..... i just spoke to TCCA Motorsport who have a rear blitz badge in stock.. anyone want to guess how much they want for it!! go on I dare you!

[btm]

$85 ?

[woody]

ok not quite that bad... $66 bucks

But 66 bucks!! mine cost like 12 plus 5 bucks postage from Slim..
ahh slim... wheredya go.. slimmy baby.. good ol' reliable slim...

[btm]

think of it this way... its the best cosmetic mod you can do to your car... and its ONLY $66 :)

how about this? not sure about the part number though but has locating pins

[btm]

80mm diameter - sounds like it :)

Free postage to UK only :(

[woody]

Yeah i saw that one buddy but it's 80mm circular circumference not including flash.. which sounds to me to be too big. if i recall my old on was only about 60mm circular circumference. but i could be wrong.

[Misguidedangel]

My badge which i just got appears to be about 60mm diameter maybe 65mm... the part number is #09200444

i dunno if that helps.. or makes any sense.. but good luck

[woody]
