Well today I thought I would get the irmscher parts out of the Garage and try them on the car before I send them to the body shop for spraying, it took me 2 years to track down all the irmscher parts.

Cool!

Its just that I was gonna put my front bumper on the MV6, which is black, but I thought it would be kinda lost - your pics prove that!

So it's going on the 'EliTruck' instead, which is green - although knowing me, it won't be the same green as it came from Russelheim................

Are your rims 9x18 or 8x18 Jim?

Both, I have 2 sets, but have mixed them on both my silver omegas, I have 8x18 on the front axles and 9x18 on the rear axles on both cars

I also have a 3rd set which are only 17" ET38 and they are on the car just now, but only until I get the irmscher kit fitted then I will fit the 18"

I got one set on German ebay, but I was working there so I collected them,
As I said it took me 2 years to get all the parts

I'm driving via Belgium in July on my way back from Italy in my 1996 Irmscher Omega

Yeah but instead of buying 4 new rims (expensive), I'm after some one who has 4 8x18, and so swap 2 rims to make 2 set mixed

Mine are just been refurbished, so in mint condition.

In facts, I have just "Irmscherized" my facelift too, I have all the body parts (all refurbished), the complete polished wood effect interior (with Irmscher steering wheel and gear knob)...

I have just this "problem" with the rims now, need two 8" for the front...

Saloon or estate, what condition is it in and how many pennies, please?

mutznutz · « **Reply #20 on:** 10 June 2010, 12:47:03 »

its for a saloon and is in good condition other than a small crack about 3 inchs long at the top of the bumper, it is an easy fix for a bodyshop its the same colour as the rest of the kit in jims photos. it owes me £250 but im open to offers.
