Ah that's a shame.
I'll just touch it over, and try to place some lacquerer on it and hope it's OK, as it is peeling like that at the mo, just need more money so i can get it how i need it to do a few track days this year, then i think it's GOT to go, just not got enough time/money to keep/use it now I'm not living at home etc.
Not good Scott. Dont think they'd ever get in trying to do what it looks like they have.
Nova wise, im in pretty much the same situation as you atm!
gutted mate i fukin hate pikeys
Well after some **** had fiddled with my door i decided to take the steering wheel off the car, BUT then realised this was not really a good long term solution so i searched on ebay and found a nice slim 25mm / 1" inch snap off boss to wheel kit..
I thought at £39.97 it cant be a waste etc.
So it arrived today an I'm pleased to say its looking good so far, but only time will tell once i use the car with it on etc, so heres some pics.
Front on view where wheel attaches.

Once you bolt it to the wheel and press the button in your left with this part to bolt to the boss.

Re aligned them up and turn the black center collar to the right and the lock mechanism slides into place and its now firmly attached!

As you can see 25mm is nothing compared to some Ive seen that are over 2.5 inches increase toward the driver!

cheers scott, thats a tidy kit :)
So...
After a bit of info digging Ive replaced the oil with some nice and not so cheep fluids.. Mobil 1 motorsport oil 15w50 along with a nice new champion filter.
The old filter was a cont to get off, not sure why! but finally got it off, i left the sump plug and filter out/off over night to drain it all out.
Finlay found the main reason Ive had an oil leak from, it's leaking slowly from the cooler union joints, and very slightly from one of the pipes where it goes from the metal crimped end into the rubber pipe, so next on the list will be a remote filter/braided pipe setup..
So while the bumper was off i decided to fit my splitter of my Astra, i didn't want it to sit flush and blend into the GSi bumper, so set it back slightly, giving a nice flair on the corners, i quite like it..
Ordered some Eaton synflex piping for my extinguisher system, should get that sorted midweek..
Anyway a few pics i took today.
