G'day guys and galls,

The names richo and I'm from Sydney and the proud new owner of a 02 black SRi. It's a top car and i'm glad that I finally found the forum with a plethora of info on this fine car. Looking foward to chattin and crusing with you all...

Also the car is currently branded vauxhall:confused: so if anyone has some grille, boot, steering wheel and wheel cap packages for opel, I'm more than interested.

Cheers.

thanks for the tip on joining the forum mohawk! I just wasn't smart enough to look on google under "opel"

hey dude welcome along
personally, leave it as vauxhall
it will confuse people even more than opel badges would ;)

Hi Richo,
just found this thread, is your car a genuine imported Vauxhall or is it a rebadged Holden.

Cheers for now,

Leigh.
