These were recovered from a crashed SD card in my phone... only images that survived from the car this year.

Oh well.. .time for new ones...

Hope you like them.
Any suggestions are welcome.

The car from a Cars and Coffee Detroit, mini gathering.

Night shots with Iphone.

And my favorite spot on a bridge near my house...

Smart

What happened to the Caddy grill? Is it taking up valuable shelf space in the garage? Might be able to find room for it over here it that helps

Btw how are you getting on with the new front arms? Did you polybush them?

CateraMV6 · « **Reply #2 on:** 13 December 2011, 03:14:01 »

Cady grill is hanging on the wall but if you really want it we can work something out.

As for the front suspension I replaced the rear wishbone bushing with just OEM replacement one. should last me another year or two. Poly bush would have been nice but I dont know anyone that makes replacements for us.

I'd love to see the confused faces on people when they see your car in a car park (parking lot

) I'd guess that most wouldn't have even heard of Opel let alone seen an 'Opel Omega'

Indeed!

By the way, very nice car!

Thats true, almost every 2/3 stops at a gas station someone comes over and

Asks what kind of car it is, as they have never seen one. The Cateras of this facelift style are quite rare. Pulled some records a while back and found that only 1000 Sports were ever sold in 2001. 369 were in silver. So its quite a rare car.

Waiting for some good snow on the ground so I can take some even better snow shots of her with the snow shoes.

Could perhaps trade a set of poly bushes for the grill $:-\$

Thanks, I need to find someone to assist me with the purchase of the Rear and side skirts for the Steinmetz kit. I guess they make it in poland or at least you can buy it from there.

I hope there is someone on here that knows a bit more about it that can perhaps guide me for the best way to purchase and ship to the states.

gstylebaby · « **Reply #17 on:** 15 December 2011, 02:05:34 »

Nice pics....as you know mate i have what your after its just the cost of what i'm after and the price to get it over to you thats the killer...If you can find a cheaper way i will send it no prob's.

CateraMV6 · « **Reply #18 on:** 15 December 2011, 15:16:01 »

I found the set rear and sides from a polish guy and back in the summer he quoted me 330Euro shipped to the USA... I think I may go through him and grab the set.

In a mean time next summer I am thinking of trading a deck lid for one of the european ones from someone who owns a Omega too..

Thats one nice looking motor. I love the rear spoiler. In fact i love the look of the whole car. spot on

What kind of spoiler is it and could i get one over here in the uk?

CateraMV6 · « **Reply #21 on:** 18 December 2011, 21:45:46 »

Rear spoiler was taken from a 05 GTO and paint matched so no paint was required. They are available in the states although rarely in silver. In the UK you can get one from the Vauhall Monaro. I dont know how much it will cost ya but it should be reasonable if you find one at the scrap yard.

I have 2 more but shipping will be outrageous due to the size of the actual part.

BTW here is one more...

Here is an interesting sticker I got recently... Kinda fits the area I live in.

Haha I love the first pic..... our Omegas generally don't fit in parking spaces...certainly not length ways. In America they clearly do!

what a stunning car!!! I had no idea the Omega was sold in the USA, albeit in a different name.

The Cadillac Catera wasn't exactly very well received. USA doesn't really do 6 cylinder car with 200 horses

You can't see 'em 'cos the thread was posted more than a year ago!

They were probably removed ages ago

At my age you don't want to look at the year if possible, lol.
