debadging involves using a hot air gun to melt the glue backing the badges but i thinkg the main vauxhall badge maybe pinned which in that case you would be left with a pair of holes which i geuss you could just put grommets in.

Debadging is a great way of disguising a low end model.

Elite is top end - people will now think you have put Elite wheels on a 2.0GLS

As the main reason for debadging is to hide a low spec model I think having the word Elite and the 3.0 badge gives a tiny bit of satisfacation.

It isn't like the car is plastered in words, and also the worst looking bit is the V grill.

Chipping, it all depends, some work some don't.

best tuning would be 2.6/3.2 exhaust manifolds - they flow a lot better
