    Yes, they look something like that. I think there is a newer design with some little tweaks.

    EDIT: That's a newer design.
    My Insignia doesn't like that CAN bus system, I don't know why, but I have that annoying warning "Check left and right light". A friend has almost the same GS as I do, but he doesn't get any error messages. So I can't recommend them to everyone :/
    And what's more fascinating, I have them installed on high beams also, and I don't get error message for them. Same LED lights.

      100 kW (136 HP) wasn't just enough, so I wanted more.
      I went to the guy who drives old Opel Vectra A 2.0 GT with over 500 HP, just because everybody told him he couldn't get that much of that motor. He is an evil genius.

      Anyway, he did some measurements first and I've got 133 HP and 320 Nm at the start. He did a light remap and 250€ later I have 153 HP and 350 Nm. That's within a safe zone as he told me.
      I was too excited at the moment so I forgot to take a photo of the new graph :/

      Before I bought 20" alloys (I had 17"), I could get about 34 mpg (6.9 L/100 km), and after I installed 20" I got 29 mpg (8.1L/100 km). After remap, I'm again on 33 mpg (7.1 L/100 km).
      1st test is average on 10.000 km, 2nd test is average on 5000 km, 3rd test is average on 4000 km. Anyway, I'm satisfied.

Until then, I'll stick with just one. TBH, the mechanic said it would cost me just 100€, and he would do a real dual exhaust (not one real and another one fake).

        I like those at yours Marko! Have you got a link somewhere for that? I've been looking at ali, but couldn't find it. Now I'm pretty sure I won't buy it, but still would like to know
        The trim I have is the same as this one. https://www.google.com/amp/s/h5.alie...529191903.html

          Since my Insignia didn't have that chrome trim (?) around windows (IDK how to explain it) and B pillar was ugly plastic, I used glossy wrap, and here is how it looks now.

          Here is before and after on B pillar

            Everything black... My grill hasn't got that chrome thing around the grill, and since it was way too expensive to buy the whole grill with that chrome trim around it, I've decided to wrap it in black.

            First I did only the wings

            I've tried to wrap emblem 4 times, but without success for now. I tried to wrap it disassembled and failed. Then I've tried to wrap it assembled on the grill, and though I've done it... Friend helped a lot, he has done most of this job, I only removed it of grill and gave it to him to try do something with it.

            But wrap didn't do the job. It started to pull off, so I removed it and tried the plasti dip solution

            That didn't work as I've planned, so I guess I'll have to do it professionally If I want it black.. But that won't be a problem..
            For now, I wrapped fog light wings and smoked fog lights.

            Next project is getting that emblem in black, and this lip also in black. Soon I'll order Eibach Pro Kit (25/30mm springs), and maybe 18mm spacers. I still have to see how it goes just with Pro Kit.
