Gonna wait till tomorrow to do the rear though.
Greg K - roughly $88AUD, going by the current rate. Arrived on the 7th day after postage from the UK too, I was most impressed.

[Greg K]

shit man thats cheap!!
is that including delivery??
i have seen an OPC grill for like $180!!
i need an original Opel grill
i have butchered my holden grill to accomodate for the Opel badge!
hehehe
where did you get it from??

[Alfonzo]

I had a chat with slimcraige, he was more than happy to assist me on my euro'trip' :P

Delivery was £12.00GBP, I also had those badges inside the box too, but I highly doubt that would alter postage the postage cost.

[Greg K]

thats awesome!!
must see what Mr slimcraigie can do for me!!
thanks mate

Finished up this morning. I'll give it a wash down later when it gets cooler and put my opelaus.com sticker on, but for now, here's the completed re-badging - I'm still amazed at how nice it looks!

[Vectracious]

Good work Alf - nice to see another Veccy returned to its original form.

[Slimcraigie]

Coooooooooooool, Makes me soooooo happy, another satisfied customer

Thanx for trusting me with your money Alf.................

[aussievectra]

That looks sweet, I like the OPEL wording that they are all seperate and not all joined together like mine.

[opel_calibra]

[Bernard Siong]

loving the veccy man.

Very clean.

what other mods have you got planned???

[Alfonzo]

Thanks :)

I'm still trying to track down a panel filter replacement for my particular model, the ones that I had matched up on the K&N site have completely different specifications. (hence my edited post in the parts forum, that could probably be deleted now) I contacted K&N about it, and they reckon they've never made one for my car :cry: So I don't know about that, I didn't want to go POD...

Later down the track I'd like to tighten the suspension up a bit, possibly give it some bigger rims too, but first off I'd like to get the air filter and exhaust sorted out.

[Mitch]

Lookin' good. :)

[Greg K]

i have a k&n panel filter.
i will try and find the part number for ya
:wink:

[Alfonzo]

Your car is a 2.5L V6 though, isn't it?

Wouldn't the C22SEL have a different air intake?

[edit: I think I've only mentioned the 2.2L 4cyl in 2 threads ever, but thanks for the offer anyway :) ]

[Greg K]

yeah i have a v6 but all the vectras take the same size air filter.
i will find out today the part number for you!
trust me it sounds awesome on the 2.2 coz i put it on my gf's vectra!
Greg K

[Alfonzo]

Oh that'd be awesome then, thanks!

[Greg K]

33-2750 is the part number matey.
i got mine from autopro so just tell them the dimensions roughly and the part number and they may have to order it for you
