On mainland Europe, Opels are common as muck. Vauxhalls stand out for their rarity value there.

But IMO an irmy type grill is better than either

Dec 2009 at 21:07 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.....

Thumbs Up!
