i had my rear arches done nearly 2 months ago, and was sick of being told by 'know it alls' (mainly cockhead vauxhshite owners with astra gsi's) it was a replica due to the lack of stickers not helped by the white wheels (to be gold in winter ready for next summer btw)
so regrettably i bought some replica decals that were going for £2 on ebay, id already bee GIVEN a set of number 2's at my really cool dealership, but have other parts to buy before shelling out 60 a side for stickers.
they came and are the right size but have no infill, but to be honest unless you look closely you cant tell.
so stuck them on last night the golsd is a mile off, i emailed the guy and he said its the nearest he has, apart from that the font and letter size are bang on (i have photos with a ruler of the originals and their location)

also cleaned the wheels and used some hycote black vynl spray (which is like a tinted lacquer) on all the plastics which i would recommend to everyone as the car looks as if its 8 years younger now it really is that good
