noob here
« on: 26 February 2008, 14:50:26 »
Hello all, I am currently working out a deal to get a 1997 Catera, and since there are so many around the streets where i live, i was hoping to come here and find some Opel or Vauxhall (sp) conversion items (grille, badging, emblems) to help me stand out in the crowd.

Cheers!
Andy

the only thing i am worried about are conversion rates and international shipping, but i would imagine it wouldnt be THAT bad since i have ordered parts from Korea and Japan before for my other rides...

Howdoo, and welcome to OOF!   :y

The parts for sale section has a number of cars being broken.  No doubt there will be something there that will tickle your fancy.  Whats more, could be exchange items.  I know some folks who desperately want cup holders for their Omega's which were not standard here but were on the Catera, I understand??

i think there are cupholders, im not 100% sure though as i havent actually gone to look at the car (they guy lives about an hour and a half away from me) but i wouldnt mind ditching cupholders for some EDM goodness! after all, i dont have them in 2 of my three other vehicles so i have grown used to using sealed containers :)

and just cause i am a bit of a picture whore, here are the vehicles in my "fleet"

1988 Ford F250 4x4, 7.3l IDI diesel, 5 speed, manual transfercase/hubs 48XXX miles


1993 Honda del Sol (CRX), custom paint...smal mods here and there (trading for Catera)

Hi andy,welcome to the forum.
If you can get on the english ebay (here it's www.ebay .co .uk) go on their car parts click on vauxhall then click omega and find a lister called las-jacarandas.
They are based near Heathrow airport and they break nothing but omegas.

Andy,

Where do you live that there are so many Cateras? I live in Buffalo and have only ever seen 4 or 5 and that's in a city of about 275,000. Are you planning to badge her as an Opel or Vauxhall, or are you looking for the black grille & ground effects look? Shop eBay/UK & DE for Vaux & Opel grilles and badges.

I bought a black mesh grille, Irschmer front air dam, and Steinmetz sideskirts on eBay/UK. Still haven't had the body kit mounted yet but the mesh grille with a Cadillac Crest & Wreath really made a big change. New wheels helped too. Click on my Catera Sport for over 2,000 pictures of Cateras & Omegas.



Visit the Catera sites for more suggestions and ideas:
