Here you go, fella - nice car by the way.

Quick tip - use the IMG link from photobucket in future, and your pics will show up in these posts.

BTW - did they machine polish the car, or just wash 'n' polish? that paintwork is mint - reminds me it's about time to clay mine.

Cheers for the help and comments, spacers on back order from eibach and trying to source some MV6 springs to drop it a tad.
Machine polished, comes up near concourse condition externally. Inside is tidy too.  :y

What tyres are you running? 235/30 or 235/35?

The look a little too low profile. Think the Veccy's ran 30 but the Mig really needs 35 to get the correct rollign radius.

Tyre size is 225/40/19 at the min. These wheels are prone to cracking with 30/35 profile tyres. Fits no problems front and back, just need spacers to fill the arches, rolling radius is out (70 mph on speedo is about 74mph) but peace of mind when you hit a pot hole. Cant believe how mint it is, inside looks like its never had any wear too, real buzzing about its condition.

Looks really nice now.

When you're spacers come I'd have a quick hunt around for some silver wheel-nuts. It will make the wheels look more finshed.

Fantastic example of an Omega, you should be very proud of that paintwork.
