Vents look out of place and naff, dont folow the cars lines, headlamps altho clean need updating to hid's and not a great fan of the el cheapo steinmetz grille, had one and it looked like a boy racer had made it out of old dvd cases, irmy one is far better constructed, and closes that gaping mouth inbetween the headlamps better.

as for the lhd hmmm stil prefer rhd, but thats what im used to,

would be interesting to see some build pics/writeups, what back end and box is used etc.



I agree would love to see some build pics and a write up etc..  n if you can pricing of part   :y

It's not an M3, so take the mirrors off. The lips at the bottom of the bumpers look naff too. And the vents.

Make it look like a 2.0 Select Omega. Put a Lotus lump in it.

Then it's properly admirable.
It is isn't it :-?

Yeh, I got carried away for a minute in a day dream, not realising someone had done it already.

Are the bonnet vents functional when you transplant that engine over, or were they just styling on the LC/LO?

That looks absolutly bloody disgusting.

A perfectly good omega turned into a tacky boy racers eyesore....I mean what's the point of putting BMW M3 wing mirrors on a Vauxhall.. :-?

I'd rarther pack up driving and go and buy a weekly bus pass then drive that ugly thing  :P
