Vauxhalls hidden sharks

[boffey]

Don't know if anyone knows but the interior designers seem to have a bet when designing the corsa D the see if they could get a shark somewhere on the interior and they did succeed. I've been working at vauxhall for just over 5 years and I have never seen it before until he other day when I saw a picture on Instagram so went to investigate and found this.

Also found that there is one in the new zafira.

there is apparently one in the Adam aswell but we haven't got one in yet to have a look over.

 

[BREMBO]

Lol so this will only be in some models or all corsa d's?

 

[Jay.S]

Lol that is awesome.

Will have to check my Astra.

All of the corsa d's and with the looks of it some of the newer models aswell.

 

[Daniel]

I've got a corsa D in at work, i'll be hunting the shark while the kettle's on in the morning!!

 

[Mark-F]

GF is getting a new GTC, i'll be having a look when she gets that haha

Also if you lift your boot carpet on a corsa d you will see a massive Opel sign stamped into the sheet metal.

Some people say the engineers had a bet about putting a shark somewhere. Came about because someone said the corsa vxr's had shark like features with the large bumper grill (mouth) and bumper slats (gills)

All I know is......

 

[Lawro]

I had one in my Corsa VXR in the glove box.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

haha thats class

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

haha awsome. wonder if any other manufacturers have done anything like that?

 

[Daz.]

Excellent!

Maybe they didn't put one in Corsa C's purely because the f**king thing would drown with all the water it lets in.

[Kieran..]

Lol so random but funny

 

[Blane1992]

just asked my mate if he's ever seen a shark anywhere on any of the interior on his astra vxr and he sounded so confused haha

 

[Darren S]

Lol! Me too. Just a bit of an in-joke and fun at the end of the day.

Should be. On the hinge of the glovebox.

 

[daydotz]

Should be. On the hinge of the glovebox.

I expect the asw is the issue or she's really that dense

I'm currently driving a new Zafira, I'll have to have a look tomorrow. It's got the same style armrest as in OP.

 

[JamieG]

Checked this morning and jaws is in my Zafira tourer.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

I was at the Launch of the new Adam and Cascada and the guy who designed the cars actually stated that there is a 'shark' in all new Vauxhalls. Where is the onwe on the tourer I'll have to have a look for it as I am driving one at present. Usually have an Insignia but not seen one on that yet.

 

[JamieG]

The one in my tourer.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

The one in my tourer.

Where is that in the car?

 

[boffey]

The tray in the centre armrest.

 

[DannyR]

2007 Corsa D VXR confirmed

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Found two in the Zafira tourer, different locations second under rubber tray in center console in dash, 1 in the Corsa, just checking the showroom.

 

[JamieG]

Will have to check mine tomorrow!!

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Can't find one on the Antara or GTC, Ampera looks a right challenge with all the bits that can be removed.

 

[boffey]

I've had a quick look in the GTC aswell and can't find anything.

 

[JamieG]

If there isn't anything in the GTC, I can't see there being one in a normal Astra or insignia either tbh.

Anything in the Mokka?

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Had aot of stuff out of the Mokka but got intercepted by a customer. Couldn't see one.
