Title: New Miggy Grill
Post by: boss on 13 July 2006, 13:17:06
Some real nice t**t decided to reverse into my grill in spasda carpark last month, smahing my irmy grill and driving off!!! Grrrrrrr

Anyway, not wanting to use a standard chip cutter grill from vauxhall I have just taken delivery of this.......

Must say, worth every penny......they are made of steel and have an excellent finish......should get the time this weekend to fix it. Will do some before after pix once I get round to it 8-)

Had mine for close on a year now, you will need to bend/ pack out the fixing points so it sits flush with the edge of the bonnet. :)

Where are all the sexy styling bits for the facelift - all I have is a wing spoiler

count yourself lucky, i don't even have that!

there is a nice immy grill, crome edge like current one, square black lines (like pre-facelift immys) with a chrome "i" Logo, but at £160 far to expensive!

Watch Ebay - no difference with wing spoilers between pre and facelift

I can't make up my mind on bodykit - I've looked at Irmscher stuff but it's well pricey and I'm not sure I'd be able to stop myself if I started. It's like getting tattoos or something.

I think the facelift is a good looking car, its certianly grown on my recently and I really like it now. There are limited parts for the Omega's please don't fit aftermarket body kits, really don't look nice.

I think exterior wise, I won't be doing any mods.

A spoiler sets it off perfectly

Lip or the curved larger one?

I did think about it, but not sure about the lip spoiler with CD alloys, looks nice on Elites with the nice chunky alloys

Larger wing spoiler - I'll get picies up some time

cool thanks, not seen many facelifts with the larger wing type one.

hi all,

Quick question on topic, i have a t reg 2.5 elite, but i have a slatted grill, i thought that that mine would have came with a Irmscher grill as standard ?, it has the real lip spoiler, has it maybe been changed at one point ? tbh i really prefer the irmscher grill or even the one above posted by Boss.

would the grill posted by boss fit fine on the mini facelift ? thanks.

I've seen a slatted grille for the facelift on fleabay, that's about it ... but that's around the £70 mark - twice the price of the above one for a pre-facelift. And I don't think it looks as good either!
