Opel?

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.

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.

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.

More of a tie in (not really, but )... Opel acutally has a car called the VX- the Opel Speedster VX 220. And it's based on the Lotus Elise, which is the m100 Elan replacement, which has an Isuzu engine in it.

They also have the Opel Astra VX-R. You can get door sill badges from it an put them on your Vehicross.

Yeah, well, this is the problem with Chevy. That thing is fugly. They need to pull out the stops and step it up. They haven't made a decent looking vehicle in years imo.

I'm surprised that noone mentioned the Opel GT from the early seventies!
It looked like a mini Corvette, complete with hideaway headlamps you actvated by pulling what looked like a small handbreak next to the gear lever.

I still see a few sitting around waiting to be restored?

They are pretty big in Ireland, sponsoring sports, like the local GAA events and soccer.
Used to be big in rallies too with the Opel Corsa.

My first car was a 1973 Opel GT. It looked like a baby 'Vette.

Now that I think of it, it was painted white with a black hood a black all around the bottom of the body! It looked like a mutant cousin of my Ironman VX, I guess.

GREAT little sportster, though. I had it when I was a senior in high school.The chicks dug it...
