i put some aleldite(sp) on the pins and one the back of the griffin itself, held mine on ok, make sure the paint is properly dry to as it reacts with the glue if not!

its a R reg, yeh flame red, well with the rear badges such as Vauxhall and Corsa etc i didnt notice any colour difference at all, but it took a while to get the glue off and i noticed that the colour was comming off too, but once i had got rid of the glue i jus gave it a really good polish and tadaa no marks or noticable difference at all but with the breeze stickers on the side of the car u cud see where it had faded but again polish and altho u can still see it its not as bad.

yeh, i found a real easy way of gettin the glue off, wipe petrol over it a few times let it soak in then get bug and tar remover and damp that over it, then get a 2 pence coin and put it under a cloth and start scrapin makin sure ure not scratchin the body work works a treat
