Hello there,
If you are willing to help out an owner from the USA, I would be interested in either of the Opel Grills you have. Our car here is called the Cadillac Catera, and prefer the look of the Opel Grill. Is the color coded grill BLACK with the Silver trim as seen in the photo.

Hi,price for the lowered springs and rear spacers with bolts and the wheels, am only in hertfordshire so can collect,feel free to send me your contcat number, cheers joe

You may get better coverage selling parts in the Parts For sale area mate :y

Hello, I am interested in the Opel Grill. Can you post a photo of just the grill? I will pay with shipping charges to the USA. I can provide proof of my reliability, my eBay feedback rating in the USA is 650+ 100% feedback.
-
Will do, admin won't let me put it up as my postcount so looks like I will have to put em ebay
Pics of grill coming

Post modified by TheBoy - suggest a quick read of the forum rules that I went to so much effort to post up in every section ;)
-
I`m very tempted by the springs
-
open to offers, PM me
-
Are the springs still available. ?

Post modified by Admin.
Kinda getting bored of telling you to have a quick glance at the forum rules. We didn't take all that time and effort to write them purely for the fun of it >:(
-
You told me me another member had bought them :-/
-
they was left on ebay in the end, as other member didnt get back to me,
all gone i think now, i asked nicely if i could post a for sale thread like other members seem to have done,but was rejected so i posted it on ebay, which has got nothing to do with the site as ebay offers its own buyer protection,

Dissapointed I lost out in all honesty, plus really disapointed that you didnt come back to as we had agreed on a price, ah well. :-/

and for future referemce, this is the gallery, not a chance to create your own sales thread. read the rules, they are there for all of us.

well someone had put a bid in so i couldnt retract the item,
my origional thread was to put pics up before i took her apart for good but someone bought her,
end of doesnt matter now, admin can lock, delete this, and my account if need be as i am now proud owner of a bmw m5
-
That's not really the attitude, mate.
I believe the comment was made politely and respectfully, so perhaps the "I don't give a damn" type comments were inappropriate? I suppose that because you have sold your car and bought another one not related to this forum, you can now say what you like and leave??
Very Adult. NOT.
-
Well I apologise, all I was trying to do was let some members see it, if there was a general ebay link section I would put it in there, I saw other members creat threads and ask em to be moved and it was done, but then when I was told no, I thought it was a easy solution as it offered protection,
Anyway my sincerest apologies guys, I just had an annoying past 4 months with this car and to the end of my teather with it,
-
How about that then! This is my new car! and currently it's running lovely. Just got a few nigglies to sort out.

Hi Andy, not sure if your post was aimed at me, however I did not get any of the extras when I bought the car. Just the car, so I dont have any of the other items. Thanks.
-
glad she is being looked after!! loved that car,
so much so, i got a signum to replace it, had it a week and every light known to man lit up and took it back to the dealer, they opted to refund me!!
so i got a good deal on a m5! but was way to thirsty and i been offered another house for a steal of a price,
so i went out and bought a facelift 3.0 elite! lol
-
Hi Matty, took me a while, longer than this kind of job would normally, but I got there in the end. Everytime I thought I was winning along came another bolt in a place you could not get too - very frustrating!! The cambelt had indeed NOT been changed and the tensioner had failed. This caused the inlet valves to hit the pistons and bent them. Luckily they did not damage the piston tops - just marked them. Got some pictures if your interested, pm me your email address again. Cheers for now.

Cheers! I will do, i am taking the garage owner to court over it as I lost a fair bit of work over it!
