do you prefer the vauxhall or the opel sign on the front of an omega grill ?
i think the opel somehow looks a bit classier

The Opel image looks nicer, but of the Opel equivilent motoers I have had over the years I was not as happy with as the vauxhalls.

Yeah, but that's because of the rarity value in the UK. On mainland Europe, Opels are common as muck. Vauxhalls stand out for their rarity value there.

Never liked the Vx "V" -- so out of the 2 would go for the Opel flash. But IMO an irmy type grill is better than either ;D

Opel definately

So much so that I changed my Vauxhall into an Opel badged Omega, grille, door sills, steering wheel cover, everything,

Looks alot smarter in my opinion, and coupled with the aluminium Euro plates fitted since the pics were taken, gives her a real "Continental" look......

I think anything that allows someone to personalise their car to make it stand out from the crowd is probably a good thing.....

Irmscher, Steimetz, Opel, plus others off Ebay give a more individual look.

And I have never ever liked the image that the word "Vauxhall" conjures to be honest.....

:y
