My Vectra 2000

Post by Vectra2000 »

Hi guys, in this thread i will show you some pics of my Vectra A-X 2000 16V
When i bought it in 2010 for 1800€ it was in a very good condition and was -except of the Remus exhaust system-
completely original.

I like the sound of the exhaust...
...but i didnt like the look of the silencer ;)
So we cut both pipes and weld some OEM look pipes on the Remus silencer.
Then i bought a set of BBS RX215 Rims with brand new Toyo's.

Image
Image
Image

...then i bought some Eibach Springs with 30mm lowering... cause the moving property was not really good with the oem springs :sick

Image
Image
Image

my plan for the future is to buy a set of these "Vauxhall-Opel-GM" Mudflaps... :love

greets Philipp

That is pretty damn good, only fault I can see is the steering wheel is on the wrong side ;)

Thank you for the comments!
Im glad to hear that you like my Vectra :love

@deeksin
No the wipers was an extra ;-)
my dads '94 (C20NE) has some!

That colour is called Bordeux red and i've never seen a beige dashboard in a cav. only grey and black.
The most of the 2000 here was satin red.

@gsipie
of course there was a 4x4 version too ;-)
