Up to you really - obvious problem with the veccy is FWD.  If it's the drive you're bored with you'll be even more disappointed with a FWD Vectra.

If you've got plenty of cash to chuck at it you could really make the omega look damn fine.  Vectra's are a wee bit (dare I say it) common - FAFCAM's.  

There was a really nice bodykit in the gallery a while ago.  Back of it and the side skirts looked great but the front was horrible.  If you go down that route and add your 20" rims you could have a really good looking car.  I'll see if I can find the post.

Driven a few GSI 3.2 veccys.  very firm, can't get the power down, doesn't do corners unless you go for lift off oversteer.  On a dry day, seemed quicker than an Omega from around 20mph (no traction before that)

German websites and German ebay seem to have most of the kits.  You'd have to translate the pages using google and check with sellers that they will deliver to the UK.  I would imagine the sellers can all speak English.
