Big Thumbs up from me!

Although I like the Opc one as well, but if you arent going to have an opc badge anywhere else, go the coupe grill!

(If my Astra Turbo plans go ahead then I will be looking at doing the Same!)

[Degen-Astra]

I like the coupe one better than the OPC.

Its just that more subtle in style.

[krayzastra]

They are F@&kin' nice, but i'd say that cause i got one!!!

Will post up a pic when i get a chance to take a pic of my astra, so lazy i am!!!

[YuSuF]

Yeah go ahead with it , Its better than OPC imo..

[R3N]

photoshopped? nice work :)

then u n me be the only ones in perth with it

btw shineeee

[Rhino]

Hmmm, the other issue I face is...

It effectively is an OPC vehicle... So should I 'mod' it that way?

[Dee]

AWESOME!!!!! id do it ryan :D

Opel is Opel.

But really up to personal choice.

[R3N]

imo i wouldnt try to change the identity of the car too much, i got the grill not for the opel badge, but because of its design which i like... i like subtle things

[Anonymous]

[Rhino]

Dayum this looks good.

Love the seats!

[Wraith]

That looks good I like it too............. :o

[Rhino]

This is now a poll...

Go to the top. NOW! GO!

Make a choice!
Make it Fast!
Do it! Do it!

[Degen-Astra]

Going from the brochure, I think the headlights are different as well, diff. to the regular tinted ones we get here.

[Dee]

COUPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anonymous]

the coupe grille compliments the cars front skirt where as the OPC grille blends too much with it, the mesh and mesh dont match and i dont know why!!!

[GOZOFF]

OPC grille is da bomb man looks awesome 8)

[YuSuF]

If it was me I'd go with the coupe one, just looks like it goes with the whole front

[Anonymous]

Coupe Grill by Far.
No offence to OPC Grilled People, Why have a OPC Grill without the rest of the Stuff that make a GENUINE OPC. Plus a OPC Grill is way too common Now.

[George Costanza]

Man, I havent posted for a while..........so I'll say go for the Coupe grill.

Thats what I have ;) It looks mad!

[OPC]

no way man OPC all the way baby yeeeeeeaaahhhhh :bang:

[mr_astra_retired]

OPC :shock: Looks the biz ;)

[Anonymous]

Doesn't the OPC one have something that causes the little bonnet release latch to get stuck?

[OPC]

no it doesnt cos ive seen steven open his bonnet and it didnt get stuck....

cant wait to put mine on woohoo.....

[Anonymous]

what about when closing?

[mr_astra_retired]

Nope mine is fine, now stop trying to put people off geting the better grill ok scott

[Wraith]

As i've already said they both look great, but given a choice i think i would prefer the Coupe, just seems to blend in a little better. :wink:

Heres a pic of my grill

[OPC]

oh wow look how hot that looks ay... now why wouldnt anyone want their car to look like that?

looks like were lossin the poll steven... :bang:

[SmellyTofu]

I'll be a spoil sport... the coupe grill only flows on the bottom slot which is smaller than the stock grill. The OPC is larger. I've heard of the catching of the latch on the OPC as well. Rooman had that issue with his one I think.

I won't say which looks better because I've owned one of them before (looking at Scott).

Cost $350 and worth every cent!!!!

[Anonymous]

sure the grille is beautiful but whats the point with that plastic thing they call a guard? lol sorry bro i HATE those things

[SmellyTofu]

Yes it's ugly.. but I'd rather have smooth paintwork than have stone chips.

This is the best grill... :p and fairly unstealable because it's a one piece item.

Kid, managed to find some Vaux boot and wheel badges to go along with the grill?

[KevinFok]

i personally think that the opc grill would suit the turbs astra cause of the mesh and mesh look on the bumper...so i think the opc grill looks better than the coupe for the turbs astra

I havn't found any Vauxhall Badge here yet, But Dug74 has a Contact in Europe some where that can them for me.
But God Damn I love my Grill :D

[FLY-SRi]

do they both hav a release point for the bonnet latch?
they both look great Ryan...Coup grill looks betta, but OPC sounds betta

[mr_astra_retired]

Interesting debate this one , i went a OPC grill to keep it like the OPC in germany ,hence the rear badge i have also , looking into OPC mirrors shortly but both grills look good , really good actually . SO personal choice

[PRC33Y]

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know i had a choice i would take the bonnet protector off. But i dont live in Sydney where the roads are smooth and the girls are fine.........better stop there.. :oops:


Only reason that i have it is to stop the stonechips around our area, you should of seen my last car that didnt have a bonnet protector! :shock: :shock:

It had stone chips all over it... Didnt look pretty at all

[Rhino]

My car has sooooo many stone chips from cruising... don't look at em.

I'll be up for a respray in a couple of years I think.

OPC mirrors... [Homer gargling/drooling sound]

Think I might just get both grilles and sell the one that I don't like... Going against the trend of the poll, I think OPC as I want to put the chrome strip on the boot so the chrome around the grille will compliment it nicely.

PRC33Y, lift the skirt... show the beast in it's fully glory!

[OPC]

yaaaaaaaaayyyyy.... i just got my opc grille and spark plug cover yesterday after waitin 6 weeks and cant wait to put em on yeehaa..

but i gotta wait 4 my back flash badge first doh cos i dont wanna be half n half :bang: so maybe by late october i will be fully opelised

[Rhino]

You're gonna be less than half and half if your centre caps on your wheels are still Holden :oops:

[Mitch]

I was thinking of getting an OPC grille but I think I might end up going for the Coupe grille. It looks alot more subtle. I have a rear Opel flash badge but still the Holden grille and badge on the front so I need to change mine soon. :lol:

[OPC]

You're gonna be less than half and half if your centre caps on your wheels are still Holden :oops:

yeah and steerin wheel also doh

but a good friend of mine is lookin into centre caps for me so fingers crossed

(Chris goes and hides in the corner....) I know, i know.

When i first put the grill in it looked smicko without the protector, but i cannot lift that skirt...... too many nasty things around!!!! :mrgreen:

I wish we had the Recaro leather seats in our Astra T's :(
