Opelisation etiquette

[DIXIE]

yo homes..

so i wanna opelise my car, to a degree...

heres my deal:

1. gotta keep the side SRI badges, cause i cbf getting new rego plates
2. deleted boot lion badge
3. def getting a blitz badge for the grille

now the boot strip..

im toying with the idea of getting an opc badge, but i dont know the opel etiquette here..
opc badges on an sri-t? yae or nae?

help me out, you know im a noob when it comes to these cars..( i dont want it to be like the equivalent of putting an SS group A badge on a 6cyl commo) lol

[hazrd]

1. gotta keep the side SRI badges, cause i cbf getting new rego plates


huh?
rego plates go on front, sri badges on side

what am i missing here lol :confused:

[DIXIE]

LOL. my plates are JET-SRI

so i must have sri badges on the car... otherwise people will think im some sort of really really fast sri lankan or something.

[ChrisMaz]

Ok it makes sense now Dixie :D

If you go OPC. Get rid of the SRI-T on the back.

Will you opelise the back as well?

Also consider the irmscher front grille, they look mint, and you can pick up a bargain on ebay.co.uk or ebay.de

Enjoy!

i think it sorta is lol correct me if im wrong anyone lol
my mate did that with his vx finally convinced him to take them off thought he could trick people with a loud exhaust, worked for people who didnt know their stuff ie. his girlfriend he was too scard to pop the hood infront of her, we wer giving someone a jump start oneday and he had to keep the bonnet down so she didnt see :P

[DIXIE]

lol well thats just lame..

thats like turbo badges on an NA

[mmahle]

You could go the "GTC" like me and gmonkey have on our boot strips. See my thread if you want. I painted it black, and had "OPEL" on one side, and "GTC" on the other. I don't have a Opel badge on the rear, mainly because it's big, and I think the car looks clearer without the badge.

ps. Fast Sri Lankan that's funnyy

[sooty]

I'd say opc on an Sri-turbs is ok, it's still an Opel performance vehicle, just make sure it represents the badge with pride :P

bahahah

i know there are people that whine about this a lot, but who cares.
no one has ever had a go at me for having an OPC grill, and they only came on the V6's

and unlike the SS no one (cept on here) knows what OPC even is...
not to mention your car really isnt too far of the factory power of the OPC anyway...
and as long as once there on you dont try to convince eveyone your car is "OPC Line" (:lol: older members will understand) you should be right.

[guy 27]

you can put the opc on and not look like a dick. just put it inplace of the sri-t badge on the rear.

[DIXIE]

lol yes the opc-line story.. ive been informed! lol

i was doing a bit of research (thanks google image search)

astra on the left, opc on the right - in place of the 2.0 turbo..

sounds like a plan :)

and i'll make sure it wears it with pride :P

Make sure you get the VXR grill and the bumper to match. I think I was quoted $800.00 for the whole thing, painted and fitted.

What's the opc line story???

Ive debadged the back of my car, only got the opel blitz and an OPC on the right hand side. I still have the SRi badges on the doors, and i have an OPC front grill. Ive never thought about the SRi and OPC contradicting them self's. Most people wouldnt even notice, if they do they wouldnt care or even know the difference.

Ok blitz badging on front, rear and wheel caps. OPC badge on the rear garnish to replace the original badging and last an OPC rocker cover plate.

[DIXIE]

^^ yup. thats the plan :D except no blitz on the boot. :)

[[OPCSRi]]

[DIXIE]

sooty has one (minus the irmy badge) and mmahle has one on his :)

Luv the milk create grille with the badge in the corner. I'm going to go the Irmscher grille, remove Astra name plate on the back and replace with Irmscher one, Blitz badging on the wheels, steering wheel and boot lid (bcoz of the locating lugs) otherwise I wasn't putting a blitz on the back.

[mmahle]

;571103'].... , steering wheel and boot lid (bcoz of the locating lugs)

What do you mean Boot Lid? or you mean the Boot Strip? or you mean the Holden Emblem on the back? which isn't attached?

[[OPCSRi]]

What do you mean Boot Lid? or you mean the Boot Strip? or you mean the Holden Emblem on the back? which isn't attached?Taking the Holden badge off the TS. They have locating holes so I have to put a blitz badge on otherwise I wanted to leave it a bagdeless hatch.
