K95VHD Work in progress-56k need not apply!

IMHO the vinyl is well below acceptable condition. You can see where the "swillington autocare" sticker has been removed, and there is some fading as well. It may look perfect on the pics, but I can assure u it is not.
I would have probably accepted keeping it, but the 16v badge is not to my taste, nor is the VAUXHALL decal but once removed, they will leave "shadow" of where they were, like the "swillington....." has done.. There are also signs of trapped moisture, and I am thinking of rust prevention.....

Sorry to all u vinyl buffs, but it's gotta go....

Think of it as weight saving LOL!!

Fair enough i will let you remove it then!lol

Warm it with a hair dryer. Start at one edge.

Dont blame you for taking it off tbh. Is the vinyl not available from GM anymore? I ask because I had a new one 2 yrs ago...

Removing it makes it look like a half ****d GSi replica attempt!

If you are removing it then get some more and replace it! GSi's look so much better with the vinyl on the B pillars and tailgate.

The 'VAUXHALL' badge on the right was put on the later ones instead of the Griffin in the centre of the tailgate so imo should be put back aswell, along with a GSi badge on the left.
But that's just me.....

You could always go to a sign writing place like Keith did and have a new one made up and let them fit it if you wanted? I myself am not ****d about the vynal, its not rare 12" so whats it matter.

Definately recommend a sign writer puts it on if anyone does get new tailgate vinyl.

I have to admit I much prefer a GSi or GTE to be wearing the pillar & tailgate vinyls. The one I got only had the GSi sticker on. Griffin stickers are 10 a penny on ebay aswell.

regarding the wheels, speedline do a similar version and they can make them in any offset if you contact them directly. i spoke to someone about it at the autosport show a few years ago.

Or u could buy these off me...
