Welcome back to the VXOC FORUM.
Sorry for our lack of support over the last year but MYBB is back and so are we.
Let's get the forum buzzing again... (March 25, 2022)x
Here is a how to with full instructions on how to de-badge your Astra, not for everyone but i prefer it
Firstly, sorry about the state of my car, its very dirty, I KNOW
You will need:
Nylon thread or fishing wire (nylon string off an old kite works the best)
Tar remover
Credit/debit card
Color coded polish (not the people)
BEFORE:
1. Put the string behind the first letter, you need to be holding each end of the string in each hand, you may need to use a finger as a guide to get it under the letter.
2. start pulling the string side to side is a sawing motion, it uses a combination of friction and heat to remove the bond.
3. move through all of the letters you want to remove, some people just remove some, I removed all
4. Pour tar remover onto a cloth, dampen the sticky residue and leave for 3-4 mins
Hi guys, my name is Dave, I found this site after browsing for how to remove a front bumper from an Astra J, as I have recently purchased a 2010 SRI & discovered that the bumper had a Tiger, adhesive, attached, passenger side, bodged bumper, where the bumper meets the wing.
I found a great description, with pictures on here, thanks Rusty.
I have now removed the clip piece which was still in the bumper & now need to find the best way to re-attach it to the bumper. Any ideas???
Also discovered that the idiot before has riveted the 4 holes on the underside of the bumper attachment, so also need to drill them out!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to tucpal for fitting my new half leather seats today! All spot on and looking good. Also thanks for wiring up the ambient lighting, had a very relaxed drive home. Gonna give them a clean and get some pics up soon
