Having bought my Omega on 1st October, I didnt like the std Vauxhall grille, so I searched the internet & found a replacement at www.caraudiosecurity.com at Hayes in Middlesex. It is very good quality & was easy to fit. It only cost £51.00 incl postage!! However, I think it needs a badge & was wondering whether to fit an Opel or Vauxhall, with V6 in the bottom right hand corner. Any ideas where to get one from?

Think it looks good as it is, and at a good price will have to see about getting one.
I see you are in Leicester will keep an eye out for you and the grill around town :y

i always found that aftermarket grilles that weren't irmscher or steinmetz looked really chpea, but yours doesn't, it looks exactly like the irmscher one!! get the "I" logo on it!!

You're right Danny, it looks just like an Irmscher. If the quality & fit's good then it's a winner

I quite like it too ..... think i may get one .... i like your car colour too ... :y

It's funny how tastes change. When the Senator B was released everybody grumbled about the cheese cutter grille, looks like things have gone full circle. :y :y :y

Yes i have noticed this trend on a couple of subjects lately. Vectra cam covers being another little bit of folk law that went full circle.

Yes, but that grille was a lot bigger and far more impressive as grilles go, like the Senny itself! :-* :-* :y :y

If you're lucky enough to see one on the road these days, they have a massive road presence, far greater than the Omega has. I once saw a plod Senator, in the standard white, but, with a black bonnet! That really did stand out from the crowd. :y :y :y
