Hello, i'm Richard
I recently bought my 1st Vauxhall a 2.0 16v GLS Omega. 1999 T reg saloon in silver. I've had it since May and i've just found this forum. I needed a cheap, rear wheel drive manual car as a run around and came across this. Done 5,000 miles in it so far and its been spot on. Now on 167,000 miles.
I've made a few changes to it but nothing major.
Here is the car when I bought it
And this is it now;
I painted the wheels gloss black, made a black mesh grille for the front, tinted side repeaters, de badged everything, painted satin black part on front bumper and colour coded the mirrors (last pic only). I've also just fitted a cream velour interior out of a CD model to get rid of the depressing (and stained) grey seats.
