Keep the irmsy grill because it was a factory option when new. There is also a irmsy grill released at the same time with a chrome letter "i" in which is on my car. The glue that came with the grill is great because the chrome "i" has not come off the grill in 15 years haha. My car is rarer than this a 1999 red astra 2.0 16v sri 3 door with just 96 left on the road with non ac from factory that gives it a little bit of extra power which makes it extremely rare as most of the others have got it as standard. All standard and no mods and had it 16 years. 138,000 miles and uses no oil at all and runs perfectly smooth. Put mobil 1 fully synthetic from 45,000 miles when i bought it in 2004 from thurlby motors alford. Yep great cars these astra's are quality made too with a thick guage of steel all around. You cannot push the metal in like you can with modern cars.
