    The latest performance model from Opel, in the shape of the turbo
    powered Corsa OPC concept, has its world premiere this week at the Essen
    Motor Show.
    It is under the bonnet where most of the interest lies with the new hot
    hatch. An all new 1.6 litre ECOTEC turbo engine, developing in this form
    129 kW (175 hp) and maximum torque of 210 Nm, provides enough power for
    some serious performance from the OPC Corsa. The engine gives Corsa a
    top speed of 225 km/h (140mph), and a sprint time from 0–60mph of 7.0
    seconds (0-100 km/h: 7.9 sec).
    No performance Corsa would be complete without the right styling
    enhancements, and the Corsa OPC will not disappoint hot hatch fans with
    its front and rear spoilers, colour-keyed wheel arches and side sills,
    and striking 17-inch alloy wheels in classic OPC design.
    The profile of the body looks stunning as it sits 25mm lower than on the
    comfort models.
    This attention to sporting detail is carried through inside. Driver and
    front passenger travel comfortably and safely in sports ‘bucket’ seats
    finished in blue Alcantara upholstery, belted in with blue matching
    safety belts. The inside of the doors and selected sections of the
    instrument panel come with a mesh-style cover, and the instrument panel,
    adopted from the Corsa SRi, is finished in a matt chrome.

    Its an "Armourall-ish" spray.

    303 Aerospace Protectant. Try Autobarn to find it. Or there are some online places that stock it. I've been using it for years and its better than armourall by far. And you can use it on any piese of plastic or rubber.


    Here is a cut and paste that has heaps of good info....

    Black Trim

    Black Trim
    Most cars made during the 1980s and 1990s featured some black trim. Most black trim pieces are made of plastic, rubber, anodized aluminum or satin black painted metal.

    All black trim should be regularly cleaned with car wash shampoo. If extra scrubbing power is required, use a toothbrush, paintbrush or a soft detailing brush. Do not use a stiff bristle brush on black trim, as it will scratch.

    To keep black trim in good condition, it must be treated with a protectant several times a year. There are different treatments for different materials.

    On smooth black plastic, you can use any vinyl and rubber dressing. For best long-term results, choose a vinyl and rubber dressing that contains ultraviolet (UV) protection to prevent sun fading. I use and recommend Einszett Tiefenpfleger or 303 Aerospace Protectant.

    On textured black plastic, use a vinyl and rubber dressing. If your textured black plastic is starting to weather, use one of the restoration products available, such as Mothers Back-to-Black or Black Again Exterior Trim Restorer. These products are not permanent solutions for faded trim, but they last longer, make the trim darker, and add a little more gloss than most vinyl and rubber protectants.

    If your textured black plastic is heavily weathered or faded, you can bring it back to life with a product like Forever Black, which is a dye system for black plastic and rubber trim. It's advertised as a permanent solution, but in my experience it will only last a couple of years if the vehicle remains in the sun. Also, don't think that Forever Black is a replacement for vinyl and rubber dressing. It's not. After Forever Black cures, you still need to keep the trim protected and looking good with vinyl and rubber dressing.

    To maintain black anodized trim, use a noncleaning wax or sealant. Anodized aluminum must be treated with great care. The coating is very thin. Even the mildest abrasives (polish and cleaners) will quickly scuff or remove the coating. The sun is a problem, too, as exposure to UV rays will fade black anodized trim.

    Painted black trim is often difficult to properly maintain. If you wax it, the original satin finish will begin to take on gloss. If you don't treat it, the trim will fade and become flat. The best solution I've found so far is to treat satin black trim (windshield wipers are a good example) with Einszett Tiefenpfleger or 303 Aerospace Protectant. Both of these products have a natural satin finish, wipe off to a greaseless finish, and won't soften the black paint. Simply use a foam or cloth applicator and thoroughly buff dry after applying.

    He's got bed bugs, ticks and nits if he scratches then I itch.
    But the kennel is cramped and though he's a scamp,
    Life with a dog is a bitch.
    You'll never be alone if you give the dog a bone.
    I'm not weird we don't kiss.

    I heard of the Grape from Former Work mates at HSV, The Holden maybe Re-Releasing a Barina Turbo(Tried in 1998, only 5 Built and I kiled 2 of them Click here to enlarge )
    So the OPC Corsa Drem might be a Reality.
