Just spotted this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-ELITE-IRMSCHER-V6-AUTO-SILVER_W0QQitemZ130345348106QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item1e59302c0a
But looking at the pictures there appears to be something wrong with the rear suspension.
Still, it's got Irmscher bits on it.
-
It's got ONE irmscher bit .. the front bit !!!
A "real" factory fitted Irmscher kit also includes rear bumper, side skirts, kick plates, grill and steering wheel
Take a peek at the piccies in my signature link for the "real" thing
I'm also not convinced it has the right size wheels on, both front and backs don't seem to fill the wheel arches properly. It's possible the back end is stuck "high" with a faulty self levelling system but I think its the wheels
-
It has got the Irmscher body kit, front and rear bumpers, door rubbing strips and side skirts. The self levelling is playing up a tad ::)

The Elite alloys only come in 16" , as you say the 4r$e end is way way too high. :y

Also he says it's a 3.0 why only single tail pipe?
-
just thinking as looking at the pics as said one tail pipe and also noticed the towbar, hence poss the rear springs might have had spacer rubbers put in them to jack the back up ?????? would be asking questions to the seller myself

I thought that was part of the front bumper kit on a proper Omega ;D ;D Also looking at your pictures, your car is very nice, but it has a huge foreign body on the back end, and the colour match is awful ;D ;D ;D

It's missing both Headlamp Washers too ::) ::)
-
Hmmm. Could do someone if the price stays low. Have to take into account when cambelt was done.
I noticed it has facelift door trims fitted. Recently done same to the Beastie as the originals are hard to keep looking black, they fade to grey (Yeah Visage!!!). Not a problem for many of you but faded placcy trim stands out on a black car.

Sure does, thing that bugs me a lot, is after polishing lots of back to black used, rained and it's gone white again :'(

They look like colour coded PRE facelift to me Guy, you can see where the chrome/stainless trim is at the bottom edge.

Has it had HD shocks /springs fitted and the self leveling replaced.
Shame it doesnt have the CCRT700 either.

Be interested to see what it goes for....

me too, I currently the high bidder :)
-
were Irmscher models also badged as Elite as this is.Something just doesn't look right apart from the jacked up rear.
-
Irmscher just produced the bodykit to fit onto any model Omega, was sold through VX dealerships.

It's the first time i've seen both badge's on the boot.Car still don't seem right though
