Title: What did I see
Post by: Andy B on 07 April 2013, 14:54:19
On my way home from work last night I saw what I think was some kind of 'Go-faster' Insignia - it looked as though it was a Vauxhall. I couldn't get to see any badges it might have had, but it had a rearfog/reverse light nicked off an Opel Gt  :-\  :-\  :-\

Saloon. I'm not certain that it was GM .. .but it certainaly had that kind of look. The central rear fog/reverse light was as near as damned the same as the GT's  :-\

Just wish I could've got a look of the front, but traffic meant that I couldn't   :(

Unless it's yet to be Aglicised, it doesn't have the shared reverse/rearfog light  :-\

But it was very similar ie bigger arches  ;)

Could be a personal import :-\ what shape was the rear numberplate?

Aussie Clubsport back end looks just like this...

I've decided I wouldn't make a very good eye witness ...... to busy trying to look for name badges rather than looking at the car  ;D ;D ;D
