My Elite....Naff or Not ?
« on: 31 January 2010, 15:58:56 »
Having a black Elite i feel i'm somewhat limited finding ways of modding her without running the risk of cheapening her. Made a few alterations so far..What do you guys reckon. Any advice would also be appreciated.

Incidently, between selling my old 2.5 1998 CD, a set of old alloy wheels and a remote control car this "new" one cost me a whole £20.00.  That said, she's cost several pennies since, what with oil changes, cambelt change etc etc..You know how it goes !!

Understood..The brows were actually slightly too long so has given her a slightly "japanese" look.

WISH I could change the wheels trust me !

She appears to be at the same ride height as the MV6 already...don't know why BUT we've measured her against a friends MV6 and they are identical.

Heck ! Decals wise, I've just put the Holden stuff on !
he he he he...a mistake ???

Will pop in to Vauxhall to see about the repeaters...good idea. Thank you.

Well spotted regarding the V8 badge..Idnoring the fact that the cheap back box makes her sound like a V8, it was just to be a bit different I guess.

Had to laugh last week..popped in to Vauxhalls and a mechanic came out, walked up to me and said "wow..thats a rear beast mate...not every day you see a V8 Omega"....I confessed !

But least she's unique !!!!

The decals are genuine Holden one's that they sell down under...granted to put on a Holden NOT a Vauxhall...like the idea of a Lion better than a Griffin..

Seen lions...never come across a Griffin !

They are all removable so I'll see how it goes ! The moment they start falling off I might remove them entirely.. We'll see.

Least you've put me off putting any more on !!  ha ha ha.

Grill !   Good question.   I originally was going to get the metal grill but having seen one fitted on a vectra..didn't like it.

I got mine from ebay Germany..under "Omega Grill" and several of different types were available.

The one i got also comes "pre-chromed" but i didn't think that would look right on a black car..

I think they are about £45.00 plus postage.
