Title: My Elite :)
Post by: rbrueford on 02 March 2008, 16:43:11
well, picked her up yesterday after a straight swap with a vectra v6 cdx of the same year. Love her to pieces, ex police (think its C.I.D being auto), very good condition, pretty much unmodded and will remain so apart from window tints, possibly rims, possibly catera front grill and finally some ice :)

 ;D I know you are excited about the car, but surely an Omega doesn't attract any looks around town! There good be only two reasons I think;
1) There are a lot of thick people who think the Police still have them
2) There is a good looking fella inside  :y

if its ex police and an elite then wont have been CID they have corsas because they cannot drive properly!. more likely to have been a VIP car or the chiefs. Either way not ragged! looks nice :y

few upgrades

only painted as i cant decide on the rimmage yet lol

Blacked headlights as i reckon she needed them(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/blotto_otto/blackgrill1.jpg)

finally, a blacked grill as my mate who i was following reckons she would look a lot meaner with the chrome gone. Next will be all the door/bumper trims

I'd like to see a picture of the whole front end with the black lights and grille together.

They look on their own, but I bet that looks good as a whole too.

It looks lowered to me too, or have you just got a couple of dead bodies in the boot? ::)

Nice car.

Nice car.
No dead bodies but loads of my usual crap in the boot, spare heads, cleaning stuff, 2x toolboxes etc etc. Not got a pic of the full front as yet but will be getting a few done as soon as i get a decent camera
