Question for thoe who have Opelised

[Taffy]

What sort of reactions do you get?

There was a guy behind me today who looked my car up and down then shook his head. He looked confused for a moment and then disgusted...in the same way that you would look at a blatent hoon.

So have you had any positive, negative or funny comments/reactions?

well it seems to impress the ladies (probably because the vec is rare enough that they, in their feminine minds, have never seen a Holden variant that they can remember), but other then that I haven't had any real reactions to it - and hey people don't even pay me out for my hood ornament, which obviously means that it looks in it's place

Oh, bout the ladies as well I think they might appreciate going out in something that's not a shitbox toyota camry or some rice burner with a 10" cannon on the back.

i always get "is it an opel?" to witch i reply "yes its been imported from belgium"

[Calibrated]

there's alot of people that agree with us rebadging to the original manufacturer. but there's also alot that will shoot us down because its "Strailya mate, its a Holden"

LOL.

nothing wrong with a ricer with a 10" cannon zorst (hehehe) well not exactly 10" more like 4" but still.

Im sure my ricer would own yo ass! LoL...


Hood ornament what the?


I think that de badging is the way to go looks cleaner. As for rebadgeing well its a personal preference and not my cup of tea, some look good others just shocking.


As for the ladies being impressed by a vectra as its rare but i guess its hard to determing sarcasm in a forum post aint it.

i have had both my astra and past vectra opelised. its well worth it. plenty of good reactions. since my vectra is gone and the astra needs to be fixed im going completely badgeless on it except for a few 'astra' word badges so i dont have to tell ppl what it is. they can decide wether they want it to be holden, opel or even vauxhall

[lithium]

the Opelized cars i've seen on the street look damn good, i love the lighting badge

but for me, just debadging the words and leaving the lion badge on - i like it being subtle

btw regarding shitbox Camrys - my parents used to have a Camry. shitbox = no. whitegood = yes. can't argue with Toyota build quality...

[moose_factor]

As Nemo would say..."What's with all the Z's" hahahaha

i like mine debadged rather than rebadged.
apart from the "astra" badge, i got nothin else that says opel or holden.
so that way i don't get both critisms:-
"its not an opel"
or
"its not a holden"

safest bet. n the nicest lookin option for me

there's alot of people that agree with us rebadging to the original manufacturer. but there's also alot that will shoot us down because its "Strailya mate, its a Holden" before jumping back in their ute or ss thats got Chevrolet badges and a huge Chevrolet badge across the rear windscreen
