Accessories mentioned below for improvement of the exterior were
available at purchase on the Opel Kadett C.
Rear window demister
Early models had for a better rear visibility the option of a
rear window demister. On the later models these became
standard.
Lighting
The standard lighting of the Kadett C could be improved with a
number of extras, namely halogen headlights, front fog and a rear
fog light.
The halogen lights were available for all Kadett C. The front
fogs were mounted on top of the bumper. These lamps give
considerably more light. The rear fog lamp was mounted below the
bumper.
Head lamp wiper with washer
A head lamp wiper with washer was not popular and as such is
very rare. Funny detail: Of some current owner owners it has been
confessed that they not even know how to operate head lamp
wipers!
Wheels
There were several types of wheels were available for the Opel
Kadett C, both of light metal, steel and forged types.
- ATS type of stern, 5.5Jx13 and 6Jx13
- Fuchs 6Jx13
- Opel 4-spokes, 5.5Jx13
The ATS wheels (5.5Jx13 or 6Jx13) were only available on the Opel
Kadett C GT/E and Rallye.
Opel mentioned in the brochure that this rim would only be
appropriate on these cars, although this is not true.
The Fuchs wheels are probably the most wanted wheel for Kadett
C-lovers. This wheel was only provided on the GT/E.
The 4-spoke the rim was at firs an option but later on the Opel
Kadett C.
Internally adjustable outside mirror
The internaly adjustable outside mirror is rather unknown but
exists. Internally adjustable outside mirrors were however rarely
available on the Kadett C. With thanks to the family Broedelet for
the use of the photograph shown below.
Towing hook
For all models antowing hook was available. Should you encounter
a towing hook, pay attention as the towing hooks for the different
models were not the same (different for sedan/city/caravan
etc)!
Parking light
The Kadett C came in some cases with a parking light. The
information for this is in our technical section available to club
members only.
