Well, it was dry and cold, so i figured i would do a bit more to VeeTwo 
What i intended to do this weekend was swap my headlight switch over as mine is broken and swap the mainbeam/flash lever over as my flash has stopped working 
But didnt do that, so im going to do that today 
Anyways, i did this instead 
Old wank induction kit off in favour of a standard drilled airbox with K&N panel filter.
Drilled a few holes and got it fitted -




Much better 
Then a bit off this -

And a hairdryer, and i was set off getting my badges off -

Before-

After -


Thats better 
Then decided to try the back ones, but it was really cold and trying to keep the panels warm was a bitch So took forever. But got most of it off. Gave up and left Vauxhall there till another day. Atleast the 1.6 badges are off 


Looks lob-sided but i kind of like it today 
Only thing is, its left a right tiny layer of adhesive - it did this on V947 but it wasnt noticeable, here it is close up Any ideas on how to get it off properly?
Ive used bug and tar remover and super resin polish, heat and picking, and water all mixed with elbow grease. But no joy 

Todays de-modification and badge strippage

Some white spirit or petrol on a rag will bring that glue off mate.

Why didn't it have a flash thing? Because it was bust, or just didn't have one? Mine has. . .

It was bust, i was hoping there was a fuse somewhere but i couldnt understand the fuse panel and my main beam still worked so guessed it was the switch.
Happened before in V947 due to me holding main beam on instead of clicking it to stay on.

id get a 20mm drill bit and make them holes a tad bigger, the smaller the holes the more of a whistling noise you will get under hard acceleration...bigger the holes, the more air flow and the deeper the induction note will be
