Possibly. As the rears had more definition on them. The Omega has an awkward rake to it, with most of the wheel shape coming from the lower half of the door rather than the quarter. Quite an elegant design imho, but stylistically dull compared to some cars... $:-\$

if not and someone who has contacts in a panel supplier should with a bit of patience find something with a similar profile. b series senator springs to mind but they may be harder to find anyway.
there will be many a wheelarch with similar curve radius surely ?
Have a closer look at the shape
I thought people had used old front wings cut up for the profile in the past ,or am i thinking senator $:-\$

i would agree there dave yes. they certainly look a similar curve but not tried a template up to it to test. if replacement arches are still available then thats not a problem anyway and seeing as front wings rarely rust anyway it would seem a shame to buy one just to cut up.

Senator B front wings are cut up for Senator B rear arches. The only one that is currently available for them is from MM Opel parts. Very expensive for a part that fits as well as a sock on a mans nose
Dont know of anyone who has cut Omega B front wings to use as rear arches because there has been a god supply available
