99 cadillac catera grill on 96 opel omega
« on: 15 June 2009, 13:06:17 »
Hi,

I can get a front grill from 99 cadillac catera (pre-facelift model). But I am not certain if it will fit on my 96 opel omega.

From what I can see in pictures, it seems that the bottom part of catera grill is a bit deeper. Am I correct? Has anyone done this?

There is a difference in depth between the Catera grille and the Opel/Vauxhall grille...
This is true on pre-facelift, and facelift models.
Predominently because USA bumpers are different to UK to fulfill their safety requirements...
As seen in link...

darn

that's a big difference...

I see that guys are cutting the bottom crossbar off in order to fit it on omega.

That looks awesome, I think. 8-) 8-) 8-)
Bet it would look even better with the Irmscher bumper.
Starting to change my mind about buying a facelift...........
