    If they are not the same, they would be very very similar - looks like theres been a bit of body work because if you remember, the Vectra had those funky wing mirrors that continued on from the bonnet - they've got rid of that to put the M3 type ones on.

    Yeah but the Calibra didn't have the swooping mirrors, so they wouldn't have to change the bonnet for those.. Looks like it's just the bumper, front quarter panels and the headlights that have been changed. It seems they've gone a little R8-ish with the bumper grills but I like the look of it. But if hough if there was something to fill the middle of the front below the grill, it would look more complete.

    Wow you've got a good eye for these things. It'd be interesting to see if anything's been done to the back..

    What is this???
    this is the result of people having to much money and no idea
    the first one is missing the middle section in the bumper, whats up with that?
    "I want easy acess to my sump plug" or "I can reach the bottom hose easier when i do my coolent change"

    and the second one, why, why did you do it? and you can not blame drugs for this stuff up.

    If anyone here is good a photoshop or anything like that, would you please insert "Fail" under both these cars
    Living in the north, better to be safe then sorry
