From 5 meters it looks ok.

Not too happy with the result. Little gap in right rear so gonna fix it somehow and color is not too good.

It was a experiment anyway, when I catch rear and front spoiler a proper paintjob will be done, and not by me.. =)

And yes, I polished and used some wax seal so the finish become better.
Used Teroson 9220 from Henkel to glue it and Finixa tape on the edge.

Hey,

24/10 04:50 I start my car for another work day. The yellow engine lamp warn about something, but no problem to drive, slow as usuall. :P

I called Opel to do a quick computer check, they say it could be EGR-valve or fuel filter, two most common problems.

26/10 04:55 No problem anymore, engine warning gone.. but suddenly it felt powerless, just like the turbo pressure was gone. I stopped at closest lit up parking and saw nothing wrong and no further problem occured.

28/10 Opel plug in their computer machines and related the problem to EGR-valve which seems to be semi-stuck. Gonna replace it with a new valve.

Car has passed 150,000 kilometers so I guess its ok.

We had snow two weeks ago.

Car also served as plow, a workhorse.

Workshop changed EGR-valve and engine runs great. ~3000 sek poorer.

Passed yearly inspection.

OBD-check was unable to connect to car, so they put a "good to know"-notice. Seems like this is common problem, thier own equipment cant read all manufactures languages or something.

Have told myself to keep the car until it passed 200,000 km..

I wouldnt mind 3-4 decimeter snow on christmas holidays, so I can go cross country skiing, but it looks like its gonna be rain. Still 3 month in 2017 that can be cold and snowy so finger crossed.
