    That looks really good, I think when you get the correct 2.0 badge and 16v it will look a lot better. She shines lovely though which is the main thing!

    grease has a habit of expanding and becoming runny when hot..when you pack a hub with grease, you need to leave some air expansion room, but you need to seal it up so you don't get any ingress of moisture, in the form of condensation from it cooling down, which is why you should put the cap back on.
    Finally somebody agrees with me.

    As Benn did, flattened the grease cap, driller out the speed line cap with a cone cutter and stuck badge overthe hole. On the rear disc conv the Astra GTE caps and already flatter

    Looks superb Spud!
