...Facelift cars are a bit trickier. Of course you'll first need a Catera trunk lid. Next, the lights on both cars have the red and white portions reversed so you would need the Catera's fender mounted units as well as the lid mounted ones in order to match. Also, our turnsignals are LEDs. Don't know if there's a difference in the wiring but that shouldn't be a problem. Then there's the center mounted brake light strip, which is what you guys really want right? For you guys with lip mounted spoilers, that pretty strip of LEDs will be covered. You'll either need to convert to the wing style spoiler or forgo it altogether...

No the LED brake light is hideous in my opinion and would be the last thing, along with the wing spoiler that I would want on my car.
What I do like is the rear light clusters. There are other differences in the boot (trunk) lids:
The Catera has no handle, but does have a line (indented) which continues around from the line running down the side of the car, along the line at the top of the rear light cluster and accross the boot lid.
On the Omega the curved corner of the top inside of the rear light clusters is where that side indent line is drawn down to the bumper and it does not continue around the back of the car.
What I'd like to get to is a Catera light cluster and boot lid, with the long LED brake light smoothed out and maybe even the indent trim line smoothed out, and then a standard Omega boot lid lip spoiler.
No chrome.
What concerns me is this though:
......
In Europe we don't have the extra lights
.......
We have extra at the back though. Rear fog/high intensity lamps - those lamps that get turned on once a year for the MOT (Yearly vehicle road worthy check) and maybe one other time when it's gently raining on the motorway!
Does this mean that a rear light conversion would leave you with no fog lamps and therefore illegal and unable to blind people on a rainy motorway?
