Title: Steinmetz 1996 Omega
Post by: Albatross on 17 February 2008, 19:51:18
I just saw this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-STEINMETZ-2-5-V6-CD-BLUE_W0QQitemZ140206755584QQihZ004QQcategoryZ9858QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD4VQQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p1638.m124

I don' know if it has been posted already, but I think it looks nice personally and there are no bids as yet. I'd buy it if I had the driveway space.

Only needs one corner looking at externally from what I can see.

It would look better without the graphics on it

Base spec (no a/c) so might not have passenger airbag.

Nice kit, there bloody expensive! I had an N reg elite in that colour too. Have to agree about the graphics, not a good look...

I reckon the car will probably go for less than the kit would retail for. I totally agree about the graphics, but if someone was after the Steinmetz kit and had the readies to spare, they could buy, swap the kit over with their own and then resell the car again for not a lot less.

Still, I just saw it and thought it might be worth a "post". No good for me as I don't have the space for and have a facelift.

There's a replica kit available for £170, pretty reasonable if you ask me, I'm thinking about getting it. Still no good for you though, huh?  ;)

Comfy, reliable and roomy 16V 2.oL had an estate version for 7 years, just got rid, it's the replacment that's parked on the drive going nowhere. :'(
