I fancied a little change before Christmas, so decided to order a set of honeycomb GSi grills and a new OPC grill and then convert it to Vauxhall.
So I started chopping up a brand new OPC grill to remove all evidence of it being Opel. Also, making the badge mounting point flat rather than slightly curved.
Then I plastic welded in place a few extra pieces of plastic from the back for the filler to grab on to.
I then had the task of re-creating the honeycomb which was cut away with the removal of the Opel mounting point. Very fiddly!
OPC badge recess removed
Once done, the grill was primed.
Then painted, new style griffin fitted and the chrome trim clipped back in place!
Then fitted to the car.
So looking OK!
