Whoa, some seriously good camera skills there mate, I love them. Are you really really tall, or did you lift up a tripod and use a remote to get that high shot?

Well I have a 3" Wide Lens which I use for most of the crazy shots... and with that particular one, I simply put the camera above my head and pinted it towards the car... and it just so happened that the image was centered so I posted it directly, I dont use any kind of photo editing software except for MS Paint and a bit of cropping...
I guess I will post a picture of my camera equipment...

Roof Diffusers... (EVO X)

correct name for them is vortex generators  :y


question, are the side markers in the bumpers a legal requirement over there? or only in certain states?

cheers  ;)

Yep I knew that but used more simple words for the ones that have never heard about the Vortex Generators.... Dont know if those work yet but I suppose they look neat in person... No real effect on performance since I dont have a large wing back there for downforce so its just for looks nothing more...

As for us well we dont have the side markers (not required) altough we should because whenever I am on the road and I want to change lanes I have sit and wait for some of those Left Lane cruisers to see my turn signal at the rear bumper...  >:(

hi

nice example of a good car.. have you put some spacers in alloys, they look further out at the back and front, what size are they. i have been thinking of getting some spacers to make the back look better..

Well the rear has +50mm H&R DRA Spacers from a Saab 9-3, I hear in Europe you can get ones for the omega that go up to +80mm, whcih is 40mm per side.

THe front is OEM, the tires are also 10mm wider to 245/45/17s so all together it makes the car look real fat...

Hope this helps.

Nice car you got there m8.

lol at the opel badge. A few of us opel drivers on the european mainland have switched their opel badges for a vauxhall or a caddie badge. So it's pretty funny to see it's the same on the other side of the big pool.  ;D
