putA few things.

Well, have had the 500 a few weeks now, and have put about 2k miles on it.
Enjoying the car more and more every time i drive it, really is a great bit of kit.

The Vauxhall steering wheel badge is really beginning to grate now though, ive asked before, but does anyone know of where i can get a HSV one??? they must be out there!

Also, is the key the largest car key ever made??? its like a racquet!


Title is supposed to read 'Just a few things' lol

I think the key is part of the anti-theft system - i.e. if somebody tries to steal the car you could whack them with it.

hehe, the key does look like it belongs to a truck, again at least no-one would think to steal the keys.

For fear of repeating...

I've done my steering wheel badge and it was quite easy, you just need to find a badge to fit. I found a supplier in Oz who located a gel badge the same size as the recess on the wheel. Just needed some teasing to made it slightly domed to sit flush.
The VX badge is a thin metal disc which will come off with care.

No-one seems to sell a badge particularly for this purpose but they exist. Ebay is your friend otherwise folks like Walkinshaw etc can most likely find something to work.

I think the key is made the size of a shovel in order to try and justify the exorbitant cost of a replacement. Unfortunately I had to acquire one from Vauxhall and by the time I'd had it coded to the car it cost me about £160. The words, "off" and "rip" spring to mind.
