I have no idea what those look like but I got them from an ASTRA SRi... I think it was an Opel or a Vauxhall.. it was here in the states for testing... so I managed to steal the wheels for dirt cheap...  ::)

Man, it pains me to burst your bubble after all the help you've given me but I can't let you live a lie. There is another Opel Catera in The States, Illinois in fact. Check out my album. He has a full Irmscher kit to boot including the Euro lip spoiler. I like your wheels better if that's any consolation.  ;D

he even has the side indicator behind the wheel arch instead of on the front bumper!

Zafira and Astra both had those wheels as an option over here, or standard on the sports or SXI models i think

...hmmm I would kill someone to have that body kit... that is one killer ride.. and I gues I am not the only one but he is a bout to get a twin brother... hehe.,..  I need to figure out where he is at so I can do a photoshoot with him.. I live in ILLINOIS as well... but I have never seen that car anywhere... anyone got any contact info...?

Well judging by the front plate its PL so that is Poland so the guy is probably polish as only we do that kind of stuff.. americans are not likely to change their caddy to OPEL at least I think so... to us the Europeans the OPELs are of a greater value... I am Bulgarian so you see how it goes...

I wish I can find out who he is... darn....

i'd happily take the grille and the boot badge

i have about $90 in USD :D

I will consider your offer... I got to see how much shipping would be to your place so I need a zip code or address or something so I can get an estimate... and I will send you what I got... I doubt its ever going back on the car...
Also I might be able to get you some other parts if you are interested like the tail end lights or something...

I would be very interested in the tail end lights, think they look a lot better than ours :y

Well Michigan does not have front plate so all the cars here have rear plates only... no one has fronts unless people like me from other states like ILLINOIS... so people in Michigan often put front plates or plates with the logo of the given make or model.... so thats how I can have german plate and not get in trouble.. simply no one cares...

I think they will fit as they are the same but he will need the outside pieces and then the inside ones on the trunk as well as the center piece between that says CATERA... if you swap all those out then you will be all set... wiring is the same and the bulb holders are likely to be the same too just in different locations... should be interesting to see... you EUROPEANS will love our tail lights...

riiiiiiight i get it

I was gutted because our hire car in florida had a front plate and being a hire car we cant mess about with it

florida doesnt require a front plate either, i like the plateless look on some cars, we had a dodge durango though!
