Mainland Europeans tend to refer to facelifts as C's, but officially it's a facelifted B  ::). So, in reality the C doesn't exist  :D

Carlton here Omega in Europe = Omega A
Omega here = Omega B. There are 3 different Omega B's. The original, the mini-facelift and the facelift, but they are all Omega B.

There are some people who mistakenly refer to the facelift as an Omega C on t'interweb, but they're wrong.

The Irmscher grilles come in appropriate versions for pre '99 and post '99 Omega B models, but they are different.

Despite the anal facts of the matter, truth be known; I have a facelift and actually prefer to think of it as an Omega C. It changed under the skin too when it was facelifted. It makes more sense in reality.

So rather like the Ford Cortina Mk5 that did officially exist to all of us who drove it, the garages that serviced and sold parts for it, but not according to Ford!! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) :D :D :D :D ;)
