Just come back from Australia, thought I would post a few Holden pics for you to compare the Commadore / Calais with the Omega:

Yep - I think it's the same shell that Adam used to create the still-born Omega V8, as that had alot more rear legroom.
Not sure, but is that front door a tad longer than "our" Omega?

doors all look the same from comparison, its the bit between rear door, and the rear wheel that is longer,  stil, with ours being narrower, less filler and grinding when the inevitible rust sets in!!!

This shows what the eye may have missed in the spot the difference photo shown a couple threads above.
