Is it Petrol blue?

[Doctor Gollum]

Too dark...

[omegod]

I've bought a fair bit off him and found him a decent seller

My 2002 3.2 Elite saloon is that colour - definitely Petrol Blue. As said, a rare and unusual shade for an Elite.

Well that's be chavv'd up way to much, why on earth do people think it's a good idea to tint rear lights. The primary purpose of which is make you be seen.

They are tinted at the factory on some Opel models so meet type approval (I have a pair of brand new ones for the wing mounted clusters but am struggling to find the boot mounted ones). aftermarket tint spraying though is usually to dark and restrictive.

There was a chap down Hastings way with a silver saloon on which he had spray tinted the rear lights..

Happened to drive past his house one wet and windy night after dropping a Network Rail chap home from a depot in Lundun...

The car was effectively invisible from behind, only the number plate returning any light...

No takers for this one as yet-still 4 days to go though.

......

What is that strange circular "thing" where the air filter SHOULD be .......    

That's the go-faster bit ...... adds another 40bhp 

[Viral_Jim]

Only 40bhp huh? Guess it would have been 10-20 more if only they'd remembered to paint it yellow 

[Andy B]

They must've run out of silver when this was built ...... I thought ALL early 2000 Omegas were silver

From an ex VAG owner, that made me chuckle . Many VAGs, particularly VWs, are shipped from the factory with indicators that are nigh on invisible in daylight when the brake lights are on...  ...then charge a premium to the few owners who actually use them for those equally daft animated indicators as an optional upgrade.

Useful, those animated indicators, for when you want to identify complete Onanists on the road.

That's assuming they use them at all, of course.

I liked my CC's rear light clusters, not the usual bland design.
