Here we have my pride and joy, my 2002 "02" 3.2 elite with colour sat nav. She has been my car for over 4 years, but in my family for 6 years.
She has MOT till Mid April 2014, with no advisories and Tax till September 2014.
Current mileage is 129,600
Located in Manchester
BODYWORK:
Finished in two-coat pearlescent Krypton Green, This has been maintain and restored to the highest level. The car has received some paint, to make it into the condition it is currently in, but it has all been superficial. (Replacement rear bumper last year too)
It has been completed to an exceptional standard and has been maintained using the highest of quality shampoos, Wax and polish. The bodywork has to be described as near immaculate. I used to own a gold cup winning Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 6 years ago, so I know how to prepare, how to use and what equipment to maintain car bodywork.
The body work has been maintained by Iain at Finer Details, (
www.finerdetails.co.uk) you can see my car in his gallery. Iain is renowned as a passionate and excellent car detailer and has exceptional feedback and well known on sites like
www.detailingworld.com . I continue to maintain my car using swissvax polish, hand wash with detailing towel only (no leather chamois etc)
MECHANICAL:
3.2i 24v Ecotec with 217BHP with 4 speed automatic gearbox with snow and sport button, the engine has been mapped by Motorsport Development (June 2009) to run as efficient as possible whilst delivering a clear power curve (always used MSD when having any work on my RS Cosworth) The car has full service history, all stamped up by Vauxhall dealers and Jaguar specialist. This engine runs perfect, even from cold, never uses any oil or water and never misses a beat. A lights come on with ignition and go out when the car is started.

WHEELS AND TYRES:
4 x late spec elite wheels in good condition, with some scuffs/scratches but nothing major. All fitted with genuine Vauxhall locking wheel nuts and standard Vauxhall nuts.
Front tyres are Goodyear eagle F1’s asymmetric 3 (new style) These are the best rated tyre for wet driving, hence why there on the front. 5 mil + tread
Rear tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 3, the best tyre money can buy and demand the price, however will do 40,000 miles on the rear of an omega, 6.5/7 mil left.
I never replace 1 tyre, both sets together and only use these 2 brands now. There are many threads about tyres for Omegas, but removing “money or budget” boundaries these 2 Tyres would win hands down all the time.
4 brand new genuine GM vauxhall mudflaps
