Apologies for such a random post, but I didn't realize the Astra had the 'hidden shark'.

I've had Vauxhall's since I passed my driving test 15 years ago. First time I noticed was on the Corsa D on the glovebox hinge, then noticed the adam's cup holder which the Corsa E got too.
So today while cleaning up a Redbull incident I removed the center cup holder and found the shark underneath.
I think it all started with the designers working into production cars without it being noticed and it's been carried on since.

Great! Didn't know there are such easter eggs in cars!

That's a pretty interesting easter egg to having in the car, though the design of the shark in my Astra seems quite different to the ones shown here.

Pretty sure the cop holders aren't removable on my Astra, is yours the tourer?
Do you have the manual parking brake? If you do, then correct, they aren't removable.
