[Rekord E2 '82]

Hey, can u guys help me?

I found this pic on the internet, and i was all like .
But i dont know what kind of front bumper it hes. I think it's a BMW-styling front of some kind. I asked about it at www.bmw-forums.com and they mentioned something about "french shark nose" for 6-series.

Can u guys help me out a little here? I cant get the question out of my head!!

W stopped getting Opels imported into the US in 1975, so most of the list members here aren't familiar with later Opels (this forum is based in the US). Perhaps one of our European members?

could be from a 635 from the 80's with the ends cut down. i will do a little snooping and see if i can find one for comparison

found this think its close

 

[Rekord E2 '82]

No, I dont think so. I've been looking at this 1. It's pretty close, but not the 1...

Is it true u american didnt have opel after '75?

So u didnt get the ascona B? Poor guys. u really missed something!

 

[baz]

are you asking about the air dam under the bumper ??
if so it could be the alpina or any one of a number of replicars

 

[Rekord E2 '82]

yeah, that was what i was thinking.

I dont think it'll be easy to get hold of one. and it's probably mucho expensivo .

The front air dams under the bumper are usually made of hand layed fibreglass so it is possible to make one.

Or ferret around in local car dismantling yards and find one that is similar and modify it to look as you want it to with fibreglass and body filler.
It does not even need to come off a car the same as yours as extensive modification is possible with these materials.
