Im in the process of attatching my Prodrive lip spoiler ... i have thought about placing the word Omega under the griffen bagde .... now i know they are squint and you can see the masking tape holding the letters but i wanted to see what it could look like ....pics of below Thumbs Up!

So Yes or No to the "OMEGA" placement ... i think i could like it once properly attatched Thumbs Up!

Mine had Vauxhall on the left, & omega 3.0 v6 on the right. Now it just says Omega on the left, & Elite on the right. The griffin badge tells you it's a vauxhall, no need for it to spell it out too!

Agreed, less is more

Did think for a while of replacing the griffin with the greek omega symbol, vauxhall on left & elite on right, but couldn't find a silver one the right size
