Welcome Siggi!

Also, I'm searching for an australian license plate (looks better on photos than the german plate ).

This is funny; you can now buy "Euro" style number plates here:

Fantastic car.
Holden are stupid for not bringing the Coupe to Australia...

That's really funny ;-) But they are quite expensive... V-IE999 costs 695 AUD! I only need it for fun, not to drive around in Victoria ;-)

the BMW style aerial looks awesome! where did you get that from?

It's original from a BMW E60 and costs 20 Euro at the BMW dealer. Some small modifications are necessary, but the style is perfect with this aerial!

I already exchanged parts with opelaus users. It's hard to do and the prices of delivering are quite expensive. But it's really fun! Holden parts are very rare here!

Everyone who does this, wants to have an exclusive car which nobody else has. No one drives Opel in Australia and no one drives Holden in Germany. So both things are very exclusive and look very stylish because no one has them :-)

I've heard that opinion several times. The Coupe is a fantastic car which has been built about 100000 times only. It's running in Europe (mainly Germany, Italy, England and Belgium) and 300 of them have been exported to South Africa. But Australia did only have the Convertible :-(

Hi there!
I am communicating with Opel drivers from all over the world and the opelaus.com-board was linked in the german astra4ever.de-board so I decided to join it. Great board, great cars - I never thought that Opel is so famous in Australia!

Some words about me: My name is Daniel, but everyone calls me "Siggi". I am 21 years old and work as a Computer Systems Engeneer.
I am driving an Opel Astra Coupe 2.2i 16V. I've seen that the Coupe is not available in Australia, but you might know the car from Opel drivers in Europe or South Africa.

Some pics are attached.

If you have questions or searching parts from Opel/Germany, let me know.
