Parked up next to an Astra yesterday and it had an Opel grille, boot lock, flaps and even centre caps. The Opel badge is definitely much nicer than the Griffin

Well managed to get the griffin off my c/c boot lock without damaging the paint , put the Opel one on with blue tack to see what it looks like 

think ill be leaving it silver this time round


Took it back off now so currently got no badge on it, will stick it on properly this weekend

Read the thread for that corsa mate, looks mint 
Opel grill looks good IMO, definitely staying.

Nice progress Jason. Coming together nicely.
My corsa was re-badged as an opel and when some prick in a van wrote it off, the policeman was confused as to why it came up as a Vauxhall on the PNC.
he couldn't understand someone would spend money changing the badges over
