If you want the straight answer, it's "no", but, that's not to say, with a little engineering there's nothing you couldn't adapt, with a little work, from another car (meaning a non-Opel) to work. The Manta louvers do pop up on Ebay and the German ebay, but, they get pricey REAL QUICK

Take a look at the '69-'70 Mustang fastback louver applications. They measure very closely width wise and would need to have maybe one row of
the slat's removed. There are several reproductions available in both aluminum and plastic for the stang's, with several different mounting methods and some are not priced all that high for new louvers. I couldn't find any other applications that were nearly as close as the early Mustangs are to the Manta. I haven't pulled the trigger on them so far, so can't give a definitive answer as to their adaptability.

Where are you located? I bought a louver for my Manta and decided not to use it as I didn't like the look of it on the car. I can take pictures of it if you are interested.

If he's not Jeff then I'll take them for sure. I've been wanting a set since they were still available in JC Whitney.
