I just picked up a used silver XR3 over in Pensacola on Tues. 3900 miles and better than new. No problems with the 500 mile ride home and loved the car so far. As a 63 yr old senoir citizen I am probably by far the oldest member on this forum and who knows,,, may be the oldest Astra owner in America! Have never been very mechanically inclined but would still love to to at least debadge the Saturn labels on the outside. Would like to get an Opel grille, rear badge and wheel caps. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. Mr. Clarkson,,,,are you still available as a parts source? I also tried a hair dryer and fishing line on removing the rear badge without success,,,maybe i just didn't heat it enough. Any other suggestings?Thanks to all for their time.

heat and a strong line are defiantly the best way to get the rear ones off, although the large Saturn emblem can take quite a while.

I can still get you any Opel / Vuaxhall pieces you may want.

Mr. Clarkson,,,sincerely appreciate the quick response. Would very much like to order the Opel grille like the one you previously referred to with a picture. Guess that would be the slatted one vs egg crate. Also need a rear Opel Badge. Please email with the details. Appreciate your time.
