Hi guys,
I'm thinking of giving my Omega a new coat of paint but I am also thinking of adding a few kit parts so, I would like opinions please???
First up, I have a rear ProDrive spoiler winging it's way as we speak (see what I did there) ;)
Next are a few other parts from around the net....
Front spoiler...

Side skirts...

And rear window spoiler...

As far as the window spoiler goes, Does anybody know of one a member has???
So, that's it... Quite basic but I think it will be a good turn out. I know they are copies but I can't afford the real deal....
Any comments will be good to see.
-
I like the standard look myself, but the front spoiler looks good. Expensive? Guess it would need to be well fitted.
Can't think of anyone with the rear window spoiler?
-
It's all quite cheap compared to the Irmy kit. I get what you say about the "standard look" but this lot should make the car look a little more aggressive without having OTT bumpers....
-
Yep, definitely :y
It's all about your own preference. I do think it will look good, and if you're planning a respray anyway ..........
-
Exactely, I still might change my mind about the window spoiler....
-
I quite like it too actually. I've seen these before on A4 and 3 series BMWs, but not on Omega ................ so far :y
-
I have to say that I've never been a fan of the Irmscher body kitted saloon or even estate but I think these will work well.
The front splitter , valance B , is just enough and maintains the swage lines between bumper and side mouldings .
I've seen some photos of the window spoiler on some cars in the gallery and it again is subtle .
I think you'd need to fit the side skirts to balance the front splitter but as long as you have the correct wheels on the car , preferably 17's , they should complete the deal.......
I'd go for it. :y
-
Now that I like.
Perfection for me would be the side skirts from that website, a valance for the rear bumper to lower the back a little and the front bumper from the guy with the Omega he uses for drifting in the gallery.
I'm even tempted to spray black down to the top of the doors, black bonnet, and white everywhere else...

I have the rear boot spoiler, but not fitted yet.
Got the front lip spoiler and am impressed.
I have also thought about the rear window spoiler but not sure how it effects the visibility of the third brake light.
-
Oh man! How long have I been off OOF???
Anyway, I have the Prodrive boot lip spoiler and the front bumper spoiler painted and fitted, I have to say, I am very happy with the but it does need the skirts as said by Olympia5776. Still thinking about the rear screen spoiler though....
I will post a few pictures soon...
-
Be interested to see how the skirts fit/look :y
-
There was another post not long ago about rear window spoiler! But issues were that it will most likely cover the third brake light, and think the OP changed minds at that! If you didnt have the lip spoiler and only the rear window one, think wouldve looked a bit iffy! But as you already got the lip spoiler in place so putting a window one on should look good! :y And do put up a few pics for us to enjoy..

I don't have the side skirts yet but I think I'll get them soon.....ish....
Photo's on way....

About 6 months ;D
Look forward to the pictures :y

Have you considered a full body wrap where I live in Bromley there is a company that does this and prices are a lot cheaper than a respray, creative FX have a good gallery on line even done Jenson Buttons GTR and they give a 8 year warranty on the work and paint underneath the wrap(also covers all door shuts etc)
-
Not sure I like the idea of a wrap??? I have a 370z at work and it's peeling all over the place....
I want a full paint in pearl.... Have to save my pennies though.....
-
Ok, here are some pic's and before you lot start... I know she needs a wash and polish!!! :-)

So I guess now I NEED those side skirts!!! ;-)
I love the way it's turned out...

Maybe a light tint in mind too? :y
-
Looking good :y :y

Looking really nice :y

I have been thinking that! The rear glass is quite dark but never a problem so I think maybe the same on the rear side glass and the front doors a shade but that will depend on legislation????
Thanks though, it really is still a little rough but if things go well, she should get a full make-over????

The front door glass is already tinted to the maximum permitted by law from the factory. If you put even the lightest tint on these, you do risk having your collar felt and forced to tear it off again on the side of the road... :'(
Back in the day, when I was young and stupid, we'd get over this problem by cruising around all night with our front windows right down, freezing our nads off! ::) Happy days! ;D

Yeah, been there, done that! Lol...
I think, if and when I do it, I will look into it then....

:o :o and i thought i had 20/20 vision? and till this day havent noticed it? are you sure James every single omega came out with it :-\
-
There is a tint film on the rear window and the side glass has a light shaded glass, not sure if the plod would put film on???
Anyway.... Back to the mod's....
I now need to make a plan of action....
I want to get it painted and if I do, I want to sort sort out a few things with the engine and do the LPG conversion with a twist ;-)
Also for the future is a tidy up for the trim, also with some modifications and at some point freshen up the under floor... This thing is becoming my second wife! Lol...
