    Few Questions, tidying up

    Got a Gsi grill, how do I remove the black slatts from the surrounding ? I see theys 3 main clips, but I dont want to push these too hard incase they break.

    Wanted to spray the slatts black, so the colour woudnt keep fading (eg: wont hav to keep using back to black) and spray the grill surround too(body colour).

    Meshing it is also an idea, how do I do this?

    Alsooo rear clusters, if they have a few scratches, small scuffs, can these be covered up, with clear laquer or sumin?

    Vectra door handles look quite neat, would corsa ones fit a cav?, using same locks?, that way you get the lock on passenger side too?

    what u drivin m8? is it a nova? if so, the best thing to get rid of the slats is cut them off with a pair of snips, thats all i did with my nova To mesh the grill, you'll need to hold the mesh on with tie wraps, then cut them off to the requires size. if you want to keep the cost down, then i'd use chicken wire, as courteney charge 20 quid for piece of mesh

    unless its a brand new grill they will be plastic welded to each other where they join.
    you need to seperate that somehow.
    you need to use vectra backing plates and transfer your code of key by the little metal bits on the barrell.

    Oh sorry yeah, dads car cavalier, i separated the grill, removed a little backing that covered half of the slats?, whats that for then?

    rear clusters, if they have a few scratches, small scuffs, can these be covered up, with clear laquer/polish or sumin?

    Use Very fine sand paper (p1200) on the rear lamps and then rub with polishing compound (G3) and they will look like new..
