Each to their own taste an all that, but I don't see why a Omega wouldn't look good in a different colour but the ones in the pictures do make it make look a tad boy racer / chavy  :-X at least the original alloys are still on not some chrome ones  :y

Arden blue is it ?

As already stated it your car and yout rules. However you posted on here for feed back and here's mine. As stated that colour probably suits a Astra or other hot hatch but the Omega is more well refined than that. Dare I say it more grown up. A darker blue may suit it better

And also I would make sure all the big and little (if any that is) rust is dealt with first and or any dents etc.. before spending however much a full paint job with special paint would cost ?

Anyways I look forward to seen the final result whatever you chose, We await some pic's  ;)

Why would you want to get an opinion on something that's personal to you,it's your ride and therefore you do what pleases you. Otherwise you will get mixed messages and you will end up getting confused trying to please others and not your self.I have done bits and pieces to my cars and have received criticism,but in general more likes than the odd dislike.I'm not even going to comment on your choice of colour because as far as I'm concerned if it's done correctly then why not? and perhaps get rid of the ''grandad  style wheels''by either getting them refurbed in a black chrome or replace them with something from this decade as you have already lowered the suspension it would be rude not to ;D
How I see it is do you want to make a statement or just blend in with the grandads...by the way I'm the oldest boy racer in town at 65 years old ::) :y

Not my cup of tea that colour I'm afraid. But each to their own. Certainly would stand out.

This is why I'm saying,the colour choice is going to be a personal thing,although I think it's a possibility that with the correct style of wheels etc it may well work. But then going for something a little less radical may or may not be the way and this is why I've said what I've said,I personally would'nt want to influence someone elses decision as it's not my money that's being spent......decisions, decisions :y

Difficult to rate someone else's colour choice.

If you like it, go for it.

Personally I think darker Blue would be nicer, but that's just me.
