So I took the advice of a friend and took five minutes of “me time” to try and sort my head out and fitted the new front plate to the car.

I need to get my hands on some double sided tape/number plate strips to fit the matching rear plate, but that’s for another day.

I really need to get a standard grill for it though! Lol

I have a standard grill at home, will keep it for you until this social distancing is over!
Looks sweet, makes me miss my old one. I might have a standard grill in my attic if you want it. Would need to check to be 100% though.View attachment 270783

That car is local to me now, he's good mates with apprentice in work here too.

Good man yourself!

That picture has just made up my mind, Vectra B colour coded door handles are being ordered!

lol cheers Marc. It’s a 2.0 16v. CV-19 has made me reassess a lot of things. I actually washed it 😮
Red top!! I forgot it was a 16v 😂
But good job your on it again, few days spend fettling with it might bring the love back :grinning:

Worse! Ecotec X16XEV 😂

Go on, get a few pics up for inspiration

Ok 😎
I have a wrap around spoiler to go on it, and a short ratio box out of a cavalier turbo. The current box in it is an F18W and is too long. I have a genuine CD player head unit if interested. It works with the top display.

That is stunning!! Easy enough conversion to do?

It’s pretty straightforward as a whole. There are a few bits that need a bit of thought towards the end.
The 1.0 12v I converted is the worse one to start with. The ECU is actually in the engine bay. I had to remove the loom from the Calibra and feed it through the bulkhead, then try to fit the massive ECU under the dash on the drivers side. I fired on Calibra calipers and disks and then got a SS exhaust made up to fit.
Class!
This is my old one, first car in fact. Wish I had the reg.
