Group Buy Feeler

[Mr. Clarkson]

I'm looking for a feeler of what OEM European parts people might like to have easily available in the US.

Based on what people have interest in, I'll see about setting up a group buy for the various items so as to secure the lowest price for everyone.

the $1000 quoted was already at group-buy prices

Whoa... not only color but nav software!?  I'd pay 1k for that!

[Mr. Clarkson]

the $1k is just for the screen and the bezel it sits behind.

The nav comes from the headunit (either CD70, or DVD90).

I'd be interested in a price to get those sexy black trim pieces. Having a black 3 door, those would look great.

For posterity, I'm copying over my answer to your thread question on the other site:

I too would be interested in making my car into an Opel clone (which I guess it is anyway, but you get what I mean).

So, upper front grill assembly if it can be easily made to fit properly. Plus rear badging, wheel centers, maybe steering wheel cover.

Price would be the big factor, though.  A company in Germany is currently marketing a 'kit' (they say will fit Saturn 3DR models) on eBay for $475 plus shipping.

They offer two other versions, but this particular kit's grill matches the Saturn's lower grill, having the same horizontal chromed bars as our cars. But frankly, I would not be willing to spend that much just to make the car look more like an Opel.

Hi guys, first post. I just bought an 08 xr5 white, and I too would love to convert it to look like the opel version. I hate the saturn logo!

Any chance I can get a working link to the kit posted above? Thanks!
