After my minor mishap on the 1st day I bought her   the car has had the front bumper repaired and resprayed; whilst it was having that done the Steinmetz front valance was added to compliment the Steinmetz grille.

Side skirts, rear apron and rear wheel spacers are on next month's agenda.





And 1 hour later after a quick clean






And as she was a month ago when I bought her...

SWEET!

Same colour as mine.  The grille makes a world of difference to the front end, as does the valance.  If you don't mind me asking, how much moola did the grille set you back, and where did you find it?

looks great. the before and after pictures look like a totally different colour! are you sure that's the same car...?!!!

Very sure it's the same car, but the original car pictures were taken by the previous owner and I don't think his camera did the car's colour justice personally speaking.

I was dubious before I went to look at the car as I was really after silver as 1st, or black as a, 2nd choice, but when I pulled up outside I immediately fell in love with the colour.

It's called "Petrol Blue", but it's right on the cusp of blue & green and reminds me of peacocks neck. Since buying it I've noticed loads of Corsas, Astras and Vectras that are close in colour, but I don't think it suits them in the same way as on the Omega. (Just my personal opinion.) I've seen one other Omega facelift in Bedford the same colour, but that's an estate CD deisel; it looks good in an estate too.

SWEET!

See above on the colour; good choice  

I got the grille and valance from Steinmetz UK, and paid the price indicated.

I personally prefer it to the Irmscher grille as it sits inside the recess rather than having the lip at top.

I also prefer the valance than the full Irmscher front bumper as it retains the recessed line that continues round the line of the door trims and makes the car look a bit sleeker. I think the Irmscher one's look great, but just a little smooth on the bumpers' side panels.

I've removed the Steinmetz badge from the grille and had the recess in the valance which is designed for the little sticker filled.



To be honest I'm trying to work out a way to fill the grille with 6 horizontal slats rather than the criss-cross (a la Senator style) slats as I think it will match the grille lower down in the bumper better, but that's a project in itself. there's a thread here about it.



I wish I could find the wing mirrors too, but they're all sold out
