I hope its not a lemon....
« on: 04 June 2008, 00:10:19 »
[size=14]Been flat out with work and the twins so not had a chance to even think about omega"s since i swapped my Elite with a 2.0 GLS with a member on here....thats until tonight.
Just bought this...[/size]





[size=14]As you can see in last pic the front bumper front front side panel need a touch up...but it doesn't actually look that bad in real life.

Need a couple of wheel centres and ummm well that's it really...its a total punt but well for £650 its got to be worth a go.[/size]

[size=14]Nice little 2.2 GLS drives nice and well its a step up from the banger i have now.... ;D

Still prefer the old shape and the old dials ect...but the climate looks pretty good and sounds are pretty good so shouldn't grumble i guess.[/size]

The wheels are not facelift ones so have been swapped at some point.

Well i assumed it was a face lift as the interior is different and the year...?

Needs some TLC for sure and well who knows what else until its been checked over and or driven for a while,but considering i was looking at P regs"s making nearly as much i thought it was worth a go  ;D

Biggest downside so far is the disgusting beige interior...god it really is hideous,so might have to bung something over the top or possibly at some point maybe change it  ;D

Does look a bit Cop-esque in that colour....have you looked under the seats for empty donut boxes?

The wheels are not facelift ones so have been swapped at some point.

they are, standard GLS from facelift 99-01(ish), very similar to prefacelift CDX

later GLS alloys were the same as CD alloys

Cheers  :y

Appreciate that.

Ive had a better look at it today and the wheels are pretty crappy really...at very least they need a rub down spray ect or preferably properly refurbished.

So i might have too have a look for some new wheels....not a priority but something too keep an eye out for as it feels its due a service very quickly....felt a little underpowered and lumpy when pulling,so just hoping its plugs leads ect. ::) ;D


But over all im very pleased....even if i spend £300/£400 over the next month or two i"ll still only spent a grand and have a (hopefully) decent little car.

My boss who owns the same car said ""wheres the leather"" hmmmm would it be a difficult job swapping cloth out and putting leather in.....just curious as it may get added too the jobs too be done at some point sometime... ;D
