Here we have my 2000 2.5 V6 Star Silver Facelift CDX with a sequential LPG conversion.
The Omega now has approx 110,000 miles on the clock, but has been extremely well looked after and is going very strong.
I've owned lots of cars, but this one is my pride and joy, I'm really proud of her

Here is the LPG Filler - I intend to spray this silver soon. It is slightly low to the ground, but doesn't cause any major problems:

And here are some of the LPG components under the bonnet. The conversion was done as a DIY job, by myself, and my good friends Kevin Wood and Markie.

Work I have done on the car is follows - all work apart from tyre fitting has been DIY:
1) Sequential LPG conversion
2) New Tyres, balance, and alignment
3) New Genuine GM Cat back exhaust system, and new manifold to downpipe gaskets.
4) Brand new clutch kit fitted, inc pressure plate and release bearing - hugely improved gearchange
5) Gearbox oil change x 2
6) Cambelt kit, water pump, aux belt, aux tensioner change
7) Full service, 1k oil changes, new plugs, breather cleanout, coolant flushes.
8) New sump (don't ask!)
All in all, a great car, and not one I intend to part wtih for a while..
Feel free to admire ;)

Not bad for a facelift but I prefer a full fat V6 in the form of a mini facelift ;D

Scuttle Broken?
No jubilee clip on ICV?
Ecotec Strip? (Had to be removed for LPG).

Ni Miggy - it's totally standard :y

You got a bargain there mate. :y
You're not kidding - the bloke selling it must not have known what he was doing - I bit his fingers off for it ;) ;D
-
But now you mention it, I often look at it, and think it looks lowered....
I must say the handling is good - it feels like it's going to let go sometimes on the back end, but it never does!
-
Rear does look low. You didn't have that trolley jack in the rear when that photo was taken I suppose? ;D
Could be a large quantity of fart gas?
