There are elements of it I like.

The side skirts would have to go.

The colour would have to change and it needs bigger wheels.

But on the whole it appears to be well done.

Wouldn't pay 3,500 for it though.

The wheels are 19"but look quite small for some reason :-/

Instant reaction is NO WAY.

But I honestly dont know what I would think if it was painted in like a slate gray/gunmetal type colour.

Looking at the external mods there in in indication of engine, interior or running gear mods.  So the intitial £3500 shock is still a no

Not my choice of side skirts. They just don't match the front or rear treatments. Steinmetz style skirts are smoother and would blend better. I like how the doors and fenders were cleaned up by removing the rubber strip and not just painting it.

They may be 19" wheels but they still look too small. Maybe it's the spoke pattern. Something lighter looking like these I found on eBay (http://i19.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/f7/29/6f02_2.JPG). With H&R wheel spacers the tires would fill the arches better.

A simpler rear spoiler would look better than wing thing. I always liked the Ford Sierra bi-wing but it wouldn't look right with the Omega's longer rear deck. Judging by the little I can see of the rear treatment I would guess it has some kind of diffuser or at least outlets for dual exhausts. I'd like that.

The color is atrocious but from the shine it looks like the painter knew his stuff. I'd prefer a midnight blue. Can't comment on the price but if you all say it's too much I believe you.

Still, if a buyer is able to bargain the price down they probably be getting a good solid car. New paint, wheels, and some new body pieces and this would be a show stopper. You can sell the wheels, skirts, and wing thing to offset some of the costs.

The blue car in the other cars colour may be a lot more interesting, certainly wouldnt need shades to look at it.

The owner either likes little boys or is too 'in touch with his feminine side' to be healthy.

Forgetting the chavved up bits, the colour is just gay.
