Can only see ones with ET 45? That right?

ianu · « **Reply #10 on:** 19 May 2015, 16:00:43 »

I got a set of spacer rings with them too - but I still haven't fitted the wheels yet - been waiting for the car to be ready.
Well worth giving them a call to check what you're after and if you want tyres with them too.

I'm thinking of getting some discreet Carlsberg SE badges for it

ianu · « **Reply #15 on:** 02 August 2015, 10:00:35 »

Headlights refurbished

Grill colour coded

Wheels fitted

Just waiting on some boot badges & and I think we're ready for the launch party

vauxsull · « **Reply #16 on:** 11 August 2015, 07:24:36 »

yes, and the attention to detail with the red 'V'.

Great stuff.

Need to see the alloys in the full glory though.....

ianu · « **Reply #18 on:** 03 October 2015, 19:52:51 »

Well it's here at last

. It has been for a while actually, but time to get it ready for a few photos has been limited. I'm actually waiting for one more boot badge - but thught I'd proceed without for now
Just managed to catch the last of the evening light, my usual photo shoot spot is closed off, so went for the more industrious backdrop - not ideal, but you get the idea

If the weather is bright enough tomorrow - I'll try and get some with the sun on it, but thought these looked a bit moody. I do like the black and white ones

Any way - here we go

Black & White - quite like these

davieboy0312 · « **Reply #19 on:** 03 October 2015, 19:59:33 »

thats a nice car mate you should be well chuffed

05omegav6 · « **Reply #20 on:** 03 October 2015, 20:31:19 »

Indeed, time and effort well spent

Not sure about the wheels personally, but each to their own

biggriffin · « **Reply #21 on:** 03 October 2015, 21:00:26 »

Nice and clean

Personally I'd like limo-tint rear Windows.

ianu · « **Reply #22 on:** 03 October 2015, 21:12:13 »

They're on the list Biggriffin if I ever get round to it - I agree

. I was a bit apprehensive about the wheels too until I put them on. They are probably on the limit of being bling - but actually brighten the black just about right IMO. I'm sure as you say, not everyone's taste

. Refurbished standard Elite wheels will go back on once the winter returns though

- I like them too

ted_one · « **Reply #23 on:** 03 October 2015, 21:39:32 »

Personally I don't take to much notice of likes and dislikes about my cars,the main thing is,if it pleases my eyes,then that's all that matters.The main point is that it's another car that's surviving and being cared for.I actually love the way the car looks and I think the wheels give the car a more up to date look,because lets face it.....15 year old original style wheels umm! $:-\$ Nice one Ian

ianu · « **Reply #24 on:** 03 October 2015, 22:32:45 »

:yyc cheers Nitro - ain't doing bad for 183k+ Hope to be at the Wycombe meet next week too

minifreek · « **Reply #25 on:** 04 October 2015, 00:32:02 »

Personally don't like the wheels, it also is crying out to be lowered but only about 40mm or so.... the wheels would benefit and the look you are trying to get will also be a lot more obvious than the 4x4 stance it has at the moment...

BUT - Its your car and if you are happy with it, thats all that matters... doesn't matter what anyone else says...

The gap between the arches and the wheels is way too much for me, the wheels look lost...

Whats with the pictures, only half the car is showing in all of them...?

No pics of the full car...?

Nice paintwork though TBH, very shiney and I take it you've been busy with a mop...?

Please don't take any offence at what Iv said, it's meant as a personal view not a critcism to yourself...

flyer 0712 · « **Reply #26 on:** 04 October 2015, 00:46:07 »

What did you use to get your headlights that good....car looks great ,,,enjoy it matey

ianu · « **Reply #27 on:** 04 October 2015, 09:04:47 »

No offence taken at all - seriously life's too short

. The ride height - seems to settle when parked, or on the move. Maybe stopped with the engine running, the self levelling gets a bit enthusiastic? The photos - I get the same on my mobile but you need to scroll left or right to see all of it. Fine on my PC though $:-\$ . Headlights - started with 2400 grit and worked up to 4500 followed by 10 minutes with a DA polisher - spent about 30 minutes on each. Need to do the fog lights next. And yes it's been thoroughly clayed, corrected, and Swix waxed .

minifreek · « **Reply #28 on:** 04 October 2015, 10:55:43 »

Glad you didn't take offence to my comments

wasn't meant to be offensive at all...

just clicked on 1 of the pics and it takes me to PB and opens the complete picture... nice motor fella, wish mine would come up that shiney when I polish it

ted_one · « **Reply #29 on:** 05 October 2015, 07:59:19 »

This is one of the reasons why I don't bother putting pictures of my cars on here...especially when a vast amount of time and money has been invested in keeping the cars in the best possible condition over the years. No offence intended!!

Yes you are...and me likewise!!

Stunning condition, Wheels are also growing on me

Maybe an Irmscher grill would look good with theses wheels also.

Didn't miss the red V and colour coded finns on the grill, I've just grown to like the genuine Irmy chrome grill gives the Omega a fresher front end IMO. Nevertheless a good looking Omega

I've got some spare chrome wrap - might have a play with an ordinary grill in time for next year

Cheers for all the feedback

Hope you can make Wycombe, Ian...love to see it in the flesh, and I am sure it will cause a massive topic of conversation

ianu · « **Reply #37 on:** 09 October 2015, 14:01:56 »

Yep - should be there Terbert

the alarming man · « **Reply #38 on:** 10 October 2015, 21:17:32 »

Ian having seen the wheels in the flesh today so to speak I like them even more now...and no imo it don't need lowering at all

Also nitro there is not anything about your cars anybody could post apart from praise as they are all very tidy models just like Ians

SMD · « **Reply #39 on:** 10 October 2015, 22:01:30 »

Yep, this one is very nice and not a swirl in sight!

nitros Red mig is very nice too. Hopefully mine will be corrected and interior sorted in time for the next meet.
