A multi story carpark with an Omega with Irmscher body kit on it???

Many members have tried to buy the kit, and all have discovered that it's not made any longer.  :(

I've got the parts catalogue so you can see 'what you could have won!'

It would have costed an absolute fortune to buy it all new anyway!

Probably more than you paid for you car outright.   :o

I spoke to a guy at LMF Vauxhall a few months ago and he told me that the kit is no longer avaliable and irmscher are not going to make anymore, so only chance to get one is ebay second hand

Or the multi-story car park.

Although that's not an option in Cornwall, except a couple of places in Truro.  :y

Do you reckon that would be the case for the more simple approach and the following two parts listed on: http://www.irmscher.de/uk/

  • Front lower spoiler                     Artikelnr.: i 40 01 030
  • Radiator grille with blackframe    Artikelnr.: i 40 01 051


When i was looking i tried every which way to no avail, i even contacted germany (irmscher) and it was those who told me due to the short demand for the facelift kit, they decided to pull it from production.

Give it a go mate.  :y If you can get it you'd achieve hero status amongst some of the members on here. I'm pretty sure that others have enquired with Irmscher and they've been told that it's no longer available.  :-?

Irmscher germany do still show the kit for the facelift, but its no longer available, the web has not been updated, same with LMF, his pages are out of date also.

Unfortunately the banter and attempted thefts will not now occur at Shifnal as I cannot get out of working that weekend :(

Looks like I'm going to have to book a "private appointment" :) in Nottingham or Brackley to have the software upgrades done .. :(

I saw this as a possible alternative.

(http://www.steinmetzdirect.com/products/omega-frontGrill.jpg)

I must admit, I would have been happy just to find the lower front valance from Irmscher, so this might do.

Does anyone have any experience or horror stories about the quality of Steinmetz parts?
