As far as I know Tony they had different headlights, so the cutouts will be different, and I very much doubt that they are interchangable.

Have you looked on ebay, to see if there are any Omega's being broken?  :)
On the front end, the headlights, bumper and bonnet are different. That's it.

And all of those items can be fitted to facelift or age a car as a mod.

The only unchangeable differences between pre and post facelift saloon shells are the rear quarters and boot lid, although with time and money these can be changed too.

Estate shells are the same from '94MY to end of production.

Sorry to bump this up, but a quick question in response to Al's (DG) statement...half hour job....regarding the 'unclip the sill', I assume its possible to just unclip the front bit and not take the whole thing off. So again, I assume it can be prised off with a screwdriver. Just don't want to break anything :y :y

From memory, its screwed at the front wheelarch, and underneath in a cuple of places, then brittle clips all the way along.

Turn the wheels to the side you want to remove.

Remove the screw at the front end and the round poppers from the bottom edge.

Tap the sill cover towards the front.

It will simply fall off.

To refit, place it in the correct position and clip back on.
