have on mine 235/40/19, on your wheels tyres looks to small , I know look nice but on road is driving like just on rims

astralogie · « **Reply #9 on:** 25 January 2009, 18:27:11 »

I know

but I'm used to drive just on rims

on the astra I had 185 35 17 tyres on the 7,5J Merc Segin

bought alsoo an Irmscher spoiler so if anyone is interested in this spoiler:

send me a pm

brand new spoiler in plastic and fits 100%

Saether · « **Reply #10 on:** 04 February 2009, 06:56:23 »

Looking forward to see this omega and his tranformeason. Nice astra, maybe the coolest i have seen!

astralogie · « **Reply #11 on:** 04 February 2009, 20:10:17 »

thanks

Saturday, the KW coilovers will be installed

I bought alsoo another original frontbumper to let this one cleaned like the one that I had on my astra..so the lisenceplat will be removed like on this pictune:

this cost a lot of money but there aren't much nice bumpers for an omega and this way, it stays OEM and it keep the original lines of the omega

Saether · « **Reply #12 on:** 04 February 2009, 20:54:50 »

I have also KW V.2 on the omega

Just screw it at the lowest hight and it will be great. and remove the thing under the spring.

astralogie · « **Reply #13 on:** 04 February 2009, 20:58:42 »

your omega is idd quiet low

hope I can get low with my 20inch wheels

steverubberduck · « **Reply #14 on:** 05 February 2009, 08:41:11 »

Nice clean looking miggy..
If it ends up looking half as nice as the astra, it will be a very special miggy

Pete Elite · « **Reply #15 on:** 05 February 2009, 12:36:17 »

Love the Mig and the wheels but those tyres look almost non-existent and must be like driving on wagon wheels

. Those kerbing strips on the tyres are also redundant so you'll have to be very careful with kerbs

.

astralogie · « **Reply #16 on:** 06 February 2009, 20:13:08 »

as you can see on this pic, I'm used to drive with very stretched tyres

got the mercedes wheels for 3 years without any kerb damage

Del Boy · « **Reply #17 on:** 06 February 2009, 21:59:34 »

Nice Omega, really love the interior of the Astra

Christian · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 February 2009, 21:38:22 »

Any news on the Suspension and wheels yet fella?

astralogie · « **Reply #19 on:** 10 February 2009, 22:36:59 »

hi,KW suspension is placed but is still high cause I have to go to the technical controle within 2 weeks to let check the coilovers...
after that, the coilovers will be screwed donw as far as possible

Christian · « **Reply #20 on:** 13 February 2009, 21:41:49 »

Dying to see this when its sat on the floor!

astralogie · « **Reply #21 on:** 18 February 2009, 21:01:01 »

this monday, I'll go to the technical control and if it is ok, the omega will be screwed down afterwards

astralogie · « **Reply #22 on:** 26 February 2009, 14:06:03 »

pics off the cleaned bumper and wheels

the tyres in the back will be replaced in 245 30 20 cause it's a silly sight with the 225 30 20

alsoo got a bra:

Christian · « **Reply #23 on:** 26 February 2009, 14:32:15 »

Looks goo dmate, yea i agree with your choice with tyres after

astralogie · « **Reply #24 on:** 28 February 2009, 15:46:02 »

some new pics

astralogie · « **Reply #25 on:** 02 March 2009, 16:14:54 »

I'm not gonne instal the spoiler:

I'm going to 'clean' the 'sprayer' above the window..think it's gonne give the back a much cleaner look this way

BettyBlu · « **Reply #26 on:** 03 March 2009, 21:28:57 »

This is shaping up lovely!

Would you be good enough to detail how you get the ride height looking so good. How does it affect ride and handling?

astralogie · « **Reply #27 on:** 04 March 2009, 12:15:58 »

thanks;)

I got a KW coilover set and with the 20 inch wheels, it looks this way

When I got the new 245 30 20 tyres for the rear, the front will be screwed down a bit more...
with 18 or 19 inch wheels, I can go much lower but then the wheels will be to little to look good

20inch is perfect for an omega

got 7cm between the ground and the bottem of the car so I can drive very good without damaging the car like I did with my astra

It's still very comfortable and drives very good

the only negative point is the price of the tyres

gstylebaby · « **Reply #28 on:** 05 March 2009, 02:49:54 »

OOOOOOhhhhhhhhh Yes like that very much for an estate it looks phat as you like.

BettyBlu · « **Reply #29 on:** 05 March 2009, 08:21:58 »

Tyres of course expensive! But I've just checked out prices on KW Coilover kits and they ain't exactly cheap either!

astralogie · « **Reply #30 on:** 06 March 2009, 20:09:57 »

KW V1 was 1200euro...

astralogie · « **Reply #31 on:** 26 March 2009, 15:36:35 »

lowered the car a bit more in front and with the new 245 30 20 tyres rear:

rear is the lowest as possible so I' going to look for shorter springs...

sneakypenguin · « **Reply #32 on:** 03 April 2009, 22:39:46 »

I do like the front grill 8-)

astralogie · « **Reply #38 on:** 15 April 2009, 20:36:35 »

believe me, in Belgium, they have some huge speedbumps

alsoo ordered 2cm spacers to set te rear a bit wider

crazyjoetavola · « **Reply #39 on:** 15 April 2009, 21:37:13 »

Car looks really well, lovely rich colour

astralogie · « **Reply #40 on:** 20 April 2009, 17:51:55 »

just putted the 2cm spacers on the rear...it isn't that nice on the pics but IRL it's much better

alsoo did the sprayer away from the rear

(above the window was a little sprayer to clean the window)

Deva1992 · « **Reply #41 on:** 21 April 2009, 12:56:48 »

very nice

astralogie · « **Reply #49 on:** 06 July 2009, 20:54:30 »

astralogie · « **Reply #50 on:** 29 August 2009, 23:19:43 »

got some pics from VBOA:

astralogie · « **Reply #51 on:** 03 November 2009, 16:10:35 »

changed the 20inch wheels into my original 17inch wheels...I have painted them in the original Papyrus color from the astra H

also fitted 18inch Porsche Turbo wheels but 18 inch is way to little for an omega

and a nice pic from last summer

PhilRich · « **Reply #52 on:** 03 November 2009, 17:12:55 »

Very very nice indeed!

, but it's been a long time since I saw a car with floorboards LOL

astralogie · « **Reply #53 on:** 05 November 2009, 12:38:05 »

thanks

but what does 'floorboards' mean?

Illuminat0r · « **Reply #54 on:** 08 November 2009, 11:27:49 »

Hey Glenn, geweldige reeks foto's.
Heb hier ook even aangemeld.
Als je nog eens naar een Opel of Omega meeting trekt in Engeland wil ik wel es mee (en ik denk ook wel enkele NL'ers

)

Sorry guys, just a few words in Dutch for my fellow Omega-driver from Belgium

And indeed, what are 'floorboards'?

astralogie · « **Reply #55 on:** 09 November 2009, 18:24:04 »

VBOA is een algemene opel-bedford en vauxhall meeting dus niet speciaal voor omega's alleen

idd, still waiting what 'floorboards' means

astralogie · « **Reply #56 on:** 10 January 2010, 20:16:05 »

a quick snow pic

Blackie_No1 · « **Reply #57 on:** 21 January 2010, 07:52:58 »

Were the Porsche rims a direct fit?? Nice looking ride man!!

Essex Pete · « **Reply #58 on:** 21 January 2010, 11:34:49 »

I think this is what he means by floorboards

astralogie · « **Reply #59 on:** 05 March 2010, 16:11:18 »

ok thanks

20inch wheels are normally sold...

I'm gonne put the money in my bug..next winter, I will restaurate the bug body off so he will be as new
