Fantastic effort on your part to get an Omega to look so good - where were the photos taken?

the shots with the sheds in background are great - looks like a possible disused railway line at the back of one or two photos

Thanks again all - comments very kind and much appreciated.

The barn is a grain store I think - hence the pipes/tubes poking out the front of it. As I said it's a Farmers field between Bicester and Bucknell ( I think the actual farm is about 3/4 mile down the road - just out of line of sight  ::)).
There is a railway line that runs across the back of some of these shots which is the London - Birmingham line via Bicester North.
OK next time I'll try and include one with a train in it just for the spotters among you  ::) ::).
Re the centre caps - fill your boots. I had the wheels refurbished last year by TWS in black chrome finish but as the caps are plastic they can't normally coat them. So I prepped them myself - last year I had a chrome wrap with a black centre circle behind the badge - but the chrome film had started lifting round the edges. So this year I re-did them with just the black - took 10 minutes once the badges were off.
Now I am tempted to try a darker tint for the rear windows..... 8) :y.

Cheers
Ian.

From the very first time I saw this car about 2 years ago, I've loved it. A real credit to its owner.

Thanks Kevin xf,
The wax is Lusso Oro (http://www.lusso.com/oro.htm) - I bought an 8oz pot at a VW enthusiasts ( :-X - don't ask) rolling road/dyno meet a few years ago. The 'detailing specialist' there was giving discounts on a number of products if you bought several items - usual thing.. Unfortunately I just can't help myself once I get going and spent nearly 50 quid on this wax, a pre cleaner revitalizing cream and some micro-fibre towels.
To be honest - with the right prep the majority of the hight street waxes you can buy will look just as good (I'm just a sucker for something that sounds a bit exclusive  :-\).

Thanks too TB  :y - shame it's still only a 2.6 but does me just fine  ;)

Cheers
