Opel GTC Sport, From Australia. - Tylerrattv - 3:rd-May-2017
This is my Opel GTC Sport, from when opel tried for 12 months to make it in Aus, it's a full spec astra with full leather, navi 900, 1.6
Turbo. the only things its missing is AFL's and Adaptive suspension. So far ive only fitted front mud flaps to it (modified genuine ones). next mods include Retrofit TPMS, and rear mud flaps.

Bold move by GM. Surely they know that Holden is too deeply embedded to be replaced by Opel

Opel tried to position itself as a premium brand so australia got upper spec models, they lasted 12 months before leaving, i think that's when the Holden commodore was decided to be the new insignia and holden was to use more opel models, so opel wouldn't of had much of a unique product range.

These but you cant put the caps back on the headlights, they obstruct. You'll need the 9012 ones.

I have the 5 door, so H7 bulbs. It took a bit of custom fit for LEDs - Had to get LED bulbs that where the heatsink can be dismounted , then had to get bulb holders with a wider hole, and some washers to hold in place between the bulb and heatsink. I'm on my 2nd set from the same seller, supposed version 4 but still have to adjust the beam as I just installed it. The previous version 3 had a good light pattern even on reflector housing but one of them blew after a year so seller offered to replace as part of warranty or if I added a bit more got a pair of new version 4s.
