The reason I got the Sport grille was to take the badge off, then decided after a few months to put it back on now wondering if to take off again just for a change or is it too Vauxhall without (no offense Saraj)

thats the very reason why it should not be removed, unless you totally modify the car to the extreme extent i never have seen the point.

it did in my second astra(current is my third) and with that i had a full body kit and everything,(pics in my albums it was disgusting) so my view is kinda biased, based on my history !
