A few questions about my Astra
Just a few things I couldn't find the answers to to get me started with modding.

1) How do I go about removing the front and rear badges for painting. I've learned to get the front grill off its a bumper off job but can I remove just the chrome badge? Also the rear one which is the boot release button.

A Few Interior Parts For Sale
I've got a few parts that I'm selling. They are parts I have after changing my interior for a leather one.
