These are dealer shots of my Catera Sport. I haven't done anything to her except polish the haze from the headlight lenses, buy some embroidered floormats, and add my XM Satellite Radio on a gooseneck floor mounting similar to the old Blaupunkts of the 70s. If and when I do any modifications I'll post new pictures.

Very nice indeed Elvin, engine pic looks exactly the same as mine very clean, sure you did'nt nobble my engine pic , like the interior finishings u got more bits than what we get eg the cup holders or are they not an added extra aftermarket?. Like the grille aswell   Where can you source on of those grilles, can you post a link if you know

[kjon51]

Kool   looks good - but how do you reach the controls from the driver's side?   The dash & consol are a bit different aren't they :-?

I like the front number plate recess cover thingy, grill looks like an irmscher, but with a cadillac badge on  :-/ & yes exceptionally clean under the hood

Nice car Mate!!!

Offer your Vauxhall or Opel grilles on these Catera sites. Some owners here might want to trade. Badges too. You can also find Cats being parted out there.

eBay is another good source. Don't forget to check eBay express & stores.

PS: The reason for the front license plate filler is that not all states require front plates. I bought the car in Florida which doesn't but live in New York which does.

It's a facelift (bonnet and doors) I reckon an Irmsher grill would look nice on that.

3.0 DBW though - didn't know they had made them!

Tidy looking motor Elvin

I forgot to mention that the cupholders are standard equipment however we sacrifice any potential storage space in the armrest. I don't know if it's widespread but mine will not stay retracted. They latch but eventually slide open. Very annoying.

What exactly is "DBW"?

DBW = Drive By Wire

It basically means there is no throttle cable in the engine bay, the throttle is controlled by the ECU.

Here in the UK the 3.0 engines where never made DBW, this was only on the 2.2 / 2.6 / 3.2 engines.

Forgot to add nice car, those alloys are usually on the "Elite" model here, the Sport get slightly different alloys here in the UK.

One thing is strange, you get oil pressure gauges on your dash where we get a display.

This is the dash of our Omega's

[Martin_1962]

Drive By Wire as fitted to the later engines* - I am surprised your 3.0 is as they never were here

2.2 2.6 3.2

I prefer the European dash with display.

Thought they were Elite wheels.

How often to Catera owners pop over to see us?

I had a look at the Catera site and found Mark DTM there

[Omega_MV6]

I like the rear lights   prefer them to the European versions!

Nice car m8

[elvin315]

I mentioned in my intro to the Forum that I ride a Kawasaki Concours (GTR1000). Thought I'd drop a picture of her here in case anyone was interested.

She's dirty after a 5 hour slog through a spring downpour. The road behind her is one we call "The Hawk's Nest". It's perched about 100 feet above the Delaware River near Port Jervis, NY. It's a favorite of sport bikers and sports car drivers alike for obvious reasons.
