Welcome to the forum mate.

Good Choice, It's a nice colour! Any plans to tune/ help it breathe?

[Milesy]

Welcome and good choice.

I noticed in the photos the grille is different from the regular satin chrome one. Have you changed it or has there been a minor model year update to the OPC?

Welcome to the forum mate, love the car!


Welcome and good choice.

From the few OPC's that have been posted so far they have all had the colour coded grille, not the satin chrome.

So most likely the batches arriving down under all got this?


*edit* just had a quick squizz on carsales, all the opc's listed have the satin chrome. but only the 19's.

So maybe you get the 20's and you get the colour code? Clutching at straws, but the only sort of common thing I can see.

[Milesy]

All the press test cars with xenons and 20's have the satin chrome grille. I suspect there has been a minor update come through as all the press cars were October build cars that arrived in December. I may have to change the grille on mine when I get it so its up to date!

[dutchy]

Strange. Just searched on a Dutch site and they said the 2013 updates include a chrome grill for most of the 2013 models including the opc

Welcome and nice car have you gone with 20"s but not the afl lighting judging by the photos?

That's like the photos of the opc cup cars. It seems we are now getting like the uk now with colour coded later style grill. I sent a email to Opel Australia to see what mine would come with (white car) and that will be colour coded. I never really like the satin Crome but the ones on the opc cup cars (later type and normal Crome) look good.

Welcome and congrats on the purchase!!

I'll get some next weekend.

Not yet.

Tint and an audio upgrade are first on the list.

[eddysdaman]

Audio's not too bad I thought (testing a yellow OPC atm)/at least, it's better than what I have now. What you got planned? Be interesting to see what you do

[atmo]

It'll be a SQ oriented build.

ARC PS8, Alpine PDX F6 and M12, single 10" or 12" sub and some new front components.

I'm not 100% sure which speakers I'll use, but I have been checking layout options...
