Evening.... I've tried the search feature but had no luck....

I have a 12 plate gtc 2.0 cdti ....

1) is the front upper grill easy to take off ?
2) are the little shark fin things on the side of the roof spoiler easy to take off ?
3) is the rear badge easy to take off?

I'm wanting to do a few touches of my own

Any help I would appreciate

Thanks in advance

James

The grill is a bumper off job.

The other bits not sure on.

@Shorty S91 he's the best person to ask as he's done these things on his GTC

Thanks for the replies

Evening buddy sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The bumper needs to come off completely if you want to remove the grill. The rear badge will come off easy enough with a hair dryer and a plastic card. I haven't removed the shark fin however I believe all you need to do is remove the rubber seal abound the boot and some of the trims and the headliner will drop enough for you to loosen the bolt for the ariel. I am off tomorrow so ill go take some pics and make a tutorial to remove the front bumper if there isn't already one

Hi shorty and thnx for the replies..... I meant the big round Vauxhall badge / boot release to take off .... Is it just clipped on do you know ?

Cheers James

Regarding the shark fins ..... My mistake referring to them as that .... I was talking about the little black plastic things attached to the roof spoiler at each side

Large Vx badge is stuck on BUT it is stuck on a round piece of body coloured metal that's the boot release... its obviously not smooth under it.

I've seen someone do it but wish I had a pic... basically only remove if you're putting something exactly the same size back on lol
