This car lives very close to me, and I havent been able to figure out what it is! Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Dont have it to hand, otherwise I would look it up. Its on an 03 plate if I remember correctly though.

Looks like a Xedos 9.

good guess, but the lights curve the wrong way and the b pillar (correct?) bit at the back where the back door meets the rear is wrong

That might be a Proton badge?

Fr0dders · 31 Dec 2007 at 14:29

b***er me its an omega

look a the light shape and the B pillar

shed load of mods though.

It doesnt look very Omega-ish on the flesh, but I see where you are going!

I think it might have a badge that says "F-320" but I could have misread it as I havent been able to get very close.

[TW]Fox · 31 Dec 2007 at 14:31

Dont think it is - rear window doesnt look to curve the same?

Look at number plate location of the omega compared to OP's photo, could be body kit but it looks too good at the top where the plate is to be a mod.

Fr0dders · 31 Dec 2007 at 14:37

looks to be a vauxhall badge to me as well

and there are a few omega revisions, and a shed load of aftermarket parts. I know theres even an Evo bodykit out there that makes it look like an Evo 8 ffs.

I can see the similarities, but its clear on the photo at the top which is actual car and which is stick on parts. My brother seems to think it looks like an accord?

Looks like a MG ZT to me.

TomO · 31 Dec 2007 at 14:40

holden of some sort?

Nope, pretty sure it isnt!

You know, I could go for a walk and get the reg plate, but this is far more fun!

My initial thought actually, just don't think it is now.

Bingo - I just checked the badge on the Holden website and I think you are right!

lukechad · 31 Dec 2007 at 14:44

Holden HSV?

Fr0dders · 31 Dec 2007 at 14:45

that figures

shares the Omega bodyshell explaining the shutlines and headlight shape.

Fr0dders · 31 Dec 2007 at 14:46

the Omega was sold as the Holden Commodore in Oz.
