Just out of interest Jim, how much?, are you keeping it the same colour?, I potentially want to respray sometime this century :)
-
Keep it star silver Jim ;) best Omega colour!!
If i ever get round to it ::) im gonae do my astro silver Monza in star silver :y
I just said to my missus about 3 days ago that i hadn't seen you about recently...that'll explain it then...thought the car was away for the Winter :)
I would say around a grand for decent job...i see you are preparing it yourself? that should cut costs a bit......

Certainly looks like you've been busy, are you doing the respray yourself or is it being trailored somewhere.

I'm getting the windows tinted this weekend as all of the glass has now been removed so that when it's refitted it looks more professional :)

It's got a nice warm garage to go in, if I every get around to emptying all off the crap thats in it first ;D ;D
One more thing I forgot to mention earlier is that I'm also fitting colour coded face-lift wing mirrors to it as I think they are a better shape what to you think 8-)

Looks great, I prefer that to a facelift cos I hate the huge grille on those, and I think the interior on the pre-facelifts is much better too. The thing I don't like on the pre-facelifts is the horrible rough black stripe on the top of the bumpers and on the doors, with yours being colour-coded it looks much better.
BTW Did you remove a standard exhaust back box to fit the Irmscher one? If yes and you still have it, would you be interested in selling it (assuming it's in decent nick)? I'm looking for cheap genuine VX exhaust parts to replace the noisy cheapo aftermarket junk fitted to mine.

Hello, Unfortunetly not, I changed the exhaust last year and the old one was on it's way out anyway, I have a vauxhall trade card which gives you big discount at vauxhalls dealers.
-
Cool mate, no worries. What's the going rate for a 3.0 saloon backbox (twin pipes) on TC these days? I might just give in and buy that one brand new, and fit it with the crappy centre sections to see whether it makes a noticeable difference - especially since that's the only part you can see and it looks better than the crap currently fitted!

I don't mate, Mark kindly let me borrow his a while back when I needed to replace the brakes (don't think anyone up this way had it at that time) so cheers for the offer. I think I'm going to prioritise on getting the cam covers and HBV replaced (hopefully curing a slight coolant leak), then new plugs & leads. After that lot's done I may finally get round to sorting this zorst, I'll be in touch for the TC details :y

do the facelift side rubstrips go straight onto the prefacelift?

Hello,
The facelift colour coded door mouldings have to be fitted using an adesive of some sort, as the holes for fixing them are not on pre-facelift doors but they fit with no problems :y

THAT is one Seriously pretty Car...... Damn but I'm actually slightly jealous...... !!!!
lovely job Jim.... wish anywhere down here would do that good a job for anything like that money!
..... it's about the only colour (other than the metallic Black i've already got), that I'd consider......
it's making me contemplate all sorts of stuff !!!
;)
Hope Xmas wasn't TOO much of an anticlimax after getting that beauty back eh??

Yep looking very nice. I had one of those irmscher badges on the bootlid in the exact same location, although I removed mine as I saw absolutely no reason for it being there ;D
Mine is pretty well boggo standard tho.

Jim, how much did it cost to get your windows tinted? did you pay full price?
out of curiosity what tends to be the usual cost for it?
-
any stone chips yet Jim on that amazing paintwork :o

Hello Mate, It cost me £125 for the full window tint, a company in Glasgow do it for me 8-)

No mate not yet, to tell you the truth it's not been out on the road yet, I'm getting it taxed and MOT for the 1st of April for the next meet if it goes ahead 8-)

I'm too far away from there but now i know what kinda price it should be i'll see if i can get a decent deal down here!
another question, how dark can they be without breaking laws?
-
The windows in back can be as dark as you like but the driver and passenger front doors should not be tinted at all. I know thousands of people tint these but you'll find that the factory windows are about as dark as you can legally get.
Some police forces have equipment on board that measure amount of light allowed through the windows (called Tintman) and will place prohibitions on your car if they are too bad.
I know, kill joys.........

.....I know, kill joys.........
Apologies in advance, friend.....
Rather that then being killer of bikers (who forgot to switch on their headlights, not a legal requirement....) approaching from the side, on the major road, with right of way, that you failed to see through the excessivly tinted drivers side windows.......
I know that those behind B pillar are out of drivers view and thus not applicable, but.......
Just my tuppence, no offence intended.... :y

No offence taken;
There are varies of tints and most people who install these have never considered the hazzards associated.
What bothers me is that there is no effort on education and worse still, when someone gets pulled, they usually say, "I didn't realise, the bloke who fitted it said it was legal..."
My point is that these installers should be chased and made to reimberse the poor suckers who shell out after only considering the asthetic look.
Tinted windows are dangerous, not only from the point you raise, but also other road users who seek eye contact from drivers at roundabouts and junctions. More sinister are the people who try to hide inside them.
How much would it cost the government for a campaign allerting people to the dangers; that would stop the unscripulous companys virtually overnight?

i'm seeing this as a less costly job now only having 3 windows done ;D

The same company charge £100.00 for the 3 windows, and I'd just like to say that the tint I have fitted is the lowest tint possiable and it's very easy to see in the car as well as out and does effect the visability when driving one bit. :)

Sorry I just read through my last post on this thread, what I should have said is " The tint I have fitted is the lowest tint possiable and it's very easy to see in the car as well as out and [size=16]does[/size] effect the visability when driving one bit"
What I meant to say is it [size=16]doesn't[/size] effect my visability when driving one bit

Follow the link below to see pic's of my black MV6, it also has a full irmscher bodykit but it's a long way from being as good as my silver elite. 8-)
The respray cost me just over a grand, but that was a mate who did it :y

I've just got some new facelift style "Omega 3.0 V6" badges which I'II be fitting them at the end of the month, watch out for photo's
-
Jim your car looks lovely mate :y
Look forward to seeing the black one done :y
-
Sure is looking damn fine :y
-
If there was a bodyshop that could do as good a job as your's has been done then I would get mine done and possibly change the colour too. Unfortunately there isn't but I can get the door done for about £60 and that's for each panel that I need doing.
BTW nice car and finish. :y
-

Me too, I've got a month of next month so I'm hoping to get some progress with the black one

I found a little bit of surface rust at the weekend on the passenger side rear wheel arch >:(
Not happy, I didn't expect to see any rust on the car after spending all that time and money on the respray

well, when i was looking at the pictures (the rust on the back wheel arche has been ground down, filled & sanded), i already knew, that the rust will come back... You will see more and more rust again!
It's done in a wrong way! You should have new arche - something like that: http://bazarek.pl/produkt/18700/232965/opel-omega-sdn-84-99-reperaturka-blotnika-tylnego.html
(sorry, that it's in polish, but i don't know the exact english name for it :) )
Rust likes miggys, every omega owner knows that. If you don't get rid of it in the right way, it will come back :(
-
gutting about the rust Jim! got that MID here btw!
looks very nice on the pics though

I'm still happy with the respray, but I didn't expect to see rust on the wheel arch after only 20 months of getting it sorted
