Cheers for the feedback guys (lubs etc) - would like to get an Opel grille but did they ever make an Opel "VH" equivalent?? all the Opels seem to be "VB" "VC" equivalents..

Am taking the panels to the painter today - hopefully he will be all finished come the weekend..

If anything it would be an Opel Senator A2 stationwagon (or what ever the German word for stationwagon is) if they even made a wagon in this shape. Even then the A2 facelift, when they went to the same shape lights as yours, is also when they went to the full colour coded and plastic bumpers, with the black inserts. So no, I don't think your car has an Opel equivalent. It's an Opel Rekord stationwagon, with Senator lights, guards and bonnet, with Commodore bumpers :lol: (and HQ running gear :P ).

Variant and Caravan are both manufacturer specific though lol

"Kombi is a German abbreviation of "Kombinationswagen" (Combination Car) which is the German name for station wagon."

The Germans sure have lots of words for da wagen

Mercedes used to call them Universals, Audi is Avant, blah, blah, blah

I think an Opel wagen/bedroom owned by KKK should be called Mein Kampf

The Commodore station wagon was called Voyage. And the Commodore (as we know it in Europe) was put out of production in 1982, so I would say Mikuni is right.

Makes sense - I never found a VH equivalent in pictures of Opels - so I canne fit an Opel Grille without bastardising a VC one - cos the angles would be all wrong for the bonnet and headlights..

Posted

The only conclusion we came to was that there was no Opel equivalent to the VH model wagon. A grill from a facelift Senator or Monza would still technically fit, if you wanted to go in this direction.

Wicked, that second senator is sweet. The flattened the nose though aye, so if you were to try fit that grill looks like you'd need bonnet, then the bumper wouldn't look right and don't want to change to boring plastic ones.

Just make it low and noisy and who cares about what badge/grill is on the front?

fwiw, all the vk shaped monza bits seem to still be available from europe. the guy from the holden dealership around the corner often comes around to borrow our microfiche reader as they turfed theirs out years ago :lol:
