There are several places on ebay selling the eyebrows, although the seller I got them from doesn't stock them anymore. I think I paid £11 the pair. They came in black gelcoat but I still painted them black sapphire.

The grill came from this place:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OMEGA-B-99-CROSS-HATCH-BADGELESS-SPORT-GRILLE-/310262795407?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item483d1a8c8f#ht_2267wt_1051

I paid £25 for mine but they are now selling them at a ridiculous £14.99! And it's really a quality product :)

Later wood trims (around 2001 onwards) in the facelift have a "gloss" effect, much more shiny! Looks better

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Er,  yes ... they have been!



And for the next mod ... ebay bargain of the month £15 for an Irmscher tailgate spoiler!





The brake light LEDs are a bit dodgy so will be replaced with a fresh strip that cost less than £2 off the bay.  Small bit of wear to fill (where it has rubbed the aerial) and a few coats of black sapphire and the job's a good 'un!
