Title: my new grill
Post by: matty on 19 March 2010, 18:42:42

my pimping work horse has been treated to some new goodies,

PI lowering springs
bilstien shocks
25mm spacers for the rear
new grill,

as my day off didnt go as planned i only got the grill on

hopefully when i find time i will get the rest on, need to torque up the rear spacers when i find the right settings,

and after, to match the rest of the exterior a stupidly rare grill

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/mattsgoldenballs/IMG00110-20100319-1732.jpg)

taken the chrome finish off and colour coded it so its not as in your face,


just to go:
 redo my alloys in a gunmetal colour and centre caps,
rear spoilers, thinkin of a m5 one on the boot
do my headlights in that perforated vinyl once it arrives
twin exit exhaust system

excuse me for asking a daft question but what is perforated vinyl? is it like tinted window film? ps the grill looks much better than the standard one  :y

i believe that vinyl is also known as "bug eyes" or "fly eyes" its almost like a mesh. used for tinting headlights legally :y :y

The grill is deffo an improvement, I like it  :y

and oh my could it be? The colour isn't graphite at all is it?
I've never seen another Omega the same colour as mine but your's does look to be!
Does it have a bronze tinge in the sunlight at all?

Your car - your rules, but bit of a shame to fit Billies with El Cheapo springs, I think. 
Seriously, you need summat like Eibach springs. Those PI things are rubbish and last only a year or so.
Cheap springs have no real temper and suddenly, the car can get alot lower.............and the struts will take a right pounding.

Makes the car awful to drive too - and yep, I'm speaking from experience! :y

Wheels spacers
Pi springs (fitted for a week)
Opel bits

Shame as I love this car but needs must as I am doin more miles for work and the lovely v6 isn't helping my wallet lol
