Where can I get snowplough clips or brackets? And an Opel badge for the front bumper?

[NoVaBoOt26]

Anybody know where can I get snowplough clips or brackets, if you can buy them brand new or not? And I'm looking for an Opel badge for the mk1 front bumper? Anyone help?

Cheers Chris

the opel badge is grafted into the bumper itself , so you would need the whole bumper, make your own clips to fit the bumper because the real thing is as rare as hens teeth!

[NoVaBoOt26]

Orite, I thought it would be the same as the griffin one and unscrew off? Can you buy the bumper new anywhere? Do you have any pictures of what the brackets/clips look like so I can make some up?

Cheers

ebay.de is your freind! i dont have any picturs of the clips, im sure john of here has??

[NoVaBoOt26]

The badge is not grafted into the bumper fits like a vauxhall one, comes off after unscrewing screws from the back

Cheers john.

Edd did you get it to look right using that? Got any pictures of seats and rub strips yet? Cheers

Way I've done mine, on the back of the plough under the screw cover bit there's like a 10mm lip that comes out, drilled a few holes in that, few cable ties through and wrapped into the cut outs in the bumper iron. Jobs a good'en.
