Title: Will the Opel Omega grille fit the Catera?
Post by: WGoins88 on 26 August 2010, 15:04:56

And vice versa? Just wondering...because I think I want an Omega grille, but was wanting to trade my Catera one for one, but I think the Catera grille looks larger. Is it?

I would think that they are one and the same but don't quote me.
They usually do this to make manufacture cheaper all round.

How about posting a photo of your current front end for comparison? I have an mini-facelift Opel grill at home ;)

It looks close! Mr Goins, get your tape measure out and measure...

1) Depth at the centre point (top to bottom, not including the chrome embelisher on the hood edge).
2) Width at the point where it meets the headlights (bottom edge of the hood).
