Hi there, OpelAus people. My name's Phil and I just joined up (redirected here from clubcalibra.org)

I presently own two Opels, a 2001 Vectra CD 2.2l and I've just bought a 1994 Calibra 16V. I have previously owned 2 other Vectras and another Calibra so I guess you could say that I'm not opeless *sigh*

I'm presently recuperating from a very serious motorcycle accident and have decided, (very reluctantly) after 37 years of riding, to hang up my helmet. However, our family needs two vehicles so I went looking and found a little red Calibra. I can't drive it at the moment (I can barely get IN it) but I am seriously looking forward to re-acquainting myself with this great little car.

My Calibra already has Opel wheels so I am seriously thinking about opelising the car so any advice in terms of badges, sources of supply, etc, would be appreciated.

I'll post some pics when I can.

Welcome along to the forum champ.

Trust me with this, you will cop a fair hiding from most cause you own a Calibra.

But all you can do, is get up on your own two feet and stand....... actually nevermind that.

Hope everything heals OK and you back up soon mate

Welcome to OA mate.

If you're after some badges, search for an ebay store called "Opelise" They will have everything you need.

Hope you heal up nice and quick to get behind the cali.

Don't listen to all these boofheads :p look after the Cali and it'll look after u. I had mine for 2 years and the only things broken on it were self inflicted :lol:

And hoping for a speedy recovery :thumbs:
