Opinions wanted???
« on: 26 February 2011, 13:59:01 »

I have just started to tidy up the interior of my Facelift Miggy and started with the dash centre and centre console surrounds by removing the black covering. It is now down to the walnut effect below but i was thinking of spraying both parts in high gloss red in order to make it look a bit sportish. I also like the idea of doing driver and passenger door bins the same. The interior is dark grey fabric as mine is a GLS. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions????

Why oh why was there never a V8 Omega????
Such a missed oppurtunity.
Look forward to the Cadillac ATS & ATS-V. Maybe a re-badged one will replace the Miggy as a RWD runner?

Sounds a little like something the "max Power" boys would do. However.....I'm probably not the best judge in such matters . I think that a black vinyl roof would enhance the already good looks of my star  silver Omega. How sad is that?..... ;D ;D ;)

Not sad bud, classic indeed but not sad. Cry's of a bygone era. They don't make cars like that anymore. As i asked though all opinions are welcome.

I've got a facelift elite with the walnut effect plastics, but much prefered the silver mv6 plastics.
These are like gold dust to find and not overly cheap.
I went to Halfords & bought plastic primer, silver paint and laquer.
Went home stripped out the centre console and door strips cleaned them up and spent 2 days painting them before refitting.
I personally think it looks better, but each to their own!

Hope that helps!   :y
