Welcome to the forum, Nice looking car. Those wheels look good on the car.

Service history. Does it show when the cambelt and tensioner was last changed? 40k miles or 4 years is the interval whichever comes first. Waterpump too probably while you have the front to bits.

That is one lovely example Lee

You may have a problem with the non-official number plates, but everything looks spot on.

Happy driving! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

ahh thats ok then, with all the funny goings on lately, it wouldnt have been a suprise if someone was pretending to own someone elses car

I do like that colour, but for the sake of a spot fine and getting pulled, Id change those plates.

Incorrect font. so are illegal.

other plate offences range from spacing to naff watermarks etc.

That's a beautiful car, mate. Saw it advertised and was tempted myself but I have two already! Good to see another Omega owner from Norn Iron on here. Health to enjoy.

FoxyV6 · « **Reply #28 on:** 07 January 2011, 18:51:09 »

stunning car mate

are those aftermarket side indicators easy to fit?? id like to change my orange ones

Lee Mcw · « **Reply #29 on:** 07 January 2011, 19:25:26 »

i think it took me all of 30 secs per side!

good job too mate. cheers for comment!

sotmh · « **Reply #30 on:** 07 January 2011, 19:43:44 »

I have no objections to tinting

and therfore would warn that you must get them professionally done and legal.

(Sorry if teaching to suck eggs). Don't remember which one but I saw on one of the fly on wall police slots where they pulled over a driver who had one done but it was illegal and i think got fined or a ticket :-/ (can't sware to that).

Lee Mcw · « **Reply #31 on:** 07 January 2011, 19:57:33 »

Yeah mate ur 100% correct on what your sayin.. but again (same with the plates ) the cops arnt just as harsh over here with them. at the most u will get a £30 fine but 90% of the time they make you take them off...

i know your thinking its a waste of money but i am getting them done by a professional tinter ( a mate of mine ) so im getting it done real cheap

oh and has anyone else ever came across an omega being so akward to tint? he said he had 1 himself and he didnt even tint it but doin mine as a favor.

tonyyeb · « **Reply #32 on:** 07 January 2011, 20:16:22 »

Its a really nice looking machine, Lee - keep it looking that way!

I personally wouldn't put incorrect Elite wheels on it - it looks good on the ones it has.

Lee Mcw · « **Reply #33 on:** 12 January 2011, 17:17:06 »

Well i got the front windows tinted

think its really helped the look of it now

They may/may not due to forum rules but worth a PM first
