Opel?

The Isuzu tie-in continues:

The Rodeo was sold as the Opel Frontera in Europe...
And guess who just happens to have some authentic Opel badges that are waiting to go on his Rodeo, just to mess with people's minds

Ahhh... but it's not a de-badge sort of thing -- Remember, I'm the guy that installed a LARGER Isuzu emblem on the front of his VX

Funny, that's how found the photo. I was browsing eBay for some center cap emlbems for my new American Racing rims (the American Racing logo has to go) and I came across the OPEL emblem. I was like "wtf is OPEL" so I did a Google image search and found the photo I posted above. It would be funny to use OPEL badges on my new rims!

Cheers!

I have been a fan of Opel cars for quite sometime considering I am an AC Milan soccer fan and they are/were sponsered by Opel.....Plus I just think the symbol is a good design..........

Have at it

The symbol is nice. I like the clean lightening bolt look.

However, I would actually like something that is either straight black, or something with the Isuzu logo or symbol in it instead. Does anyone know a place that sells the stick on emblems? I need ones that are no bigger than 2.5"s.

Its funny, cause the American Racing center cap badges are just glued on to the center cap. So, I thought, sweet, I can just rip this off and I am good to go. WRONG! Underneath the stick on badge is another AR logo molded into the centercap. So what did I do? I Dremeled it out and then sanded it all down. Now I have 100% debadged center caps. But I was thinking of putting an Isuzu symbol in there, trouble is I can't find anything that will work.

Does anyone know where to get titanium stuff made? It would be pimpy to have smaller "VX" logos cut out of titanium for my center cap decals.

PS. Yes, photos are coming soon. Rubber goes on Saturday morning.

You can add Vauxhall in England and Holden in Australia to that shared platform list. Thats where I first saw a 'Cadillac Catera', but it was called a Vauxhall Senator or something like that. I thought it was a big car till I saw it here. Maybe it shrank coming across the Atlantic.

Thanks!

I might even have to get one of these too...

Wow, I've had many friends that have owned Opels. I went to their website and discovered that there is no US link. I think they owned Cadets. Great vehicle. Very cool car.
