Hello all, I am currently working out a deal to get a 1997 Catera, and since there are so many around the streets where i live, i was hoping to come here and find some Opel or Vauxhall (sp) conversion items (grille, badging, emblems) to help me stand out in the crowd.
Cheers!
Andy

Hiya Andy! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]
Welcome to the forum! :y
-
Hello & Welcome :y
Sure there will be plenty from breakers in the parts for sale / wanted section.
-
the only thing i am worried about are conversion rates and international shipping, but i would imagine it wouldnt be THAT bad since i have ordered parts from Korea and Japan before for my other rides...
-
and just cause i know forum members love pics (especially if its something different sorta) here is a shot of the Caddy i will hopefully be getting soon

Hello & welcome :) I had one of those grills for a while..

Hi Andy and welcome from across the "pond". :y

Howdoo, and welcome to OOF! :y
The parts for sale section has a number of cars being broken. No doubt there will be something there that will tickle your fancy. Whats more, could be exchange items. I know some folks who desperately want cup holders for their Omega's which were not standard here but were on the Catera, I understand??

i think there are cupholders, im not 100% sure though as i havent actually gone to look at the car (they guy lives about an hour and a half away from me) but i wouldnt mind ditching cupholders for some EDM goodness! after all, i dont have them in 2 of my three other vehicles so i have grown used to using sealed containers :)
and just cause i am a bit of a picture whore, here are the vehicles in my "fleet"
1988 Ford F250 4x4, 7.3l IDI diesel, 5 speed, manual transfercase/hubs 48XXX miles

our pre 99 omegas have black plastic with a chrome strip, not to my taste :D

Hi andy,welcome to the forum.
If you can get on the english ebay (here it's www.ebay .co .uk) go on their car parts click on vauxhall then click omega and find a lister called las-jacarandas.
They are based near Heathrow airport and they break nothing but omegas.

Andy,
Where do you live that there are so many Cateras? I live in Buffalo and have only ever seen 4 or 5 and that's in a city of about 275,000. Are you planning to badge her as an Opel or Vauxhall, or are you looking for the black grille & ground effects look? Shop eBay/UK & DE for Vaux & Opel grilles and badges.
I bought a black mesh grille, Irschmer front air dam, and Steinmetz sideskirts on eBay/UK. Still haven't had the body kit mounted yet but the mesh grille with a Cadillac Crest & Wreath really made a big change. New wheels helped too. Click on my Catera Sport for over 2,000 pictures of Cateras & Omegas.
