Looks very well implemented, pity it's not got some projector headlights.

Vents look out of place and naff, dont folow the cars lines, headlamps altho clean need updating to hid's and not a great fan of the el cheapo steinmetz grille, had one and it looked like a boy racer had made it out of old dvd cases, irmy one is far better constructed, and closes that gaping mouth inbetween the headlamps better.

as for the lhd hmmm stil prefer rhd, but thats what im used to,

would be interesting to see some build pics/writeups, what back end and box is used etc.

cant but agree with you about the looks, Im sure something more  befitting the styling of the omega could be achieved. Still, who wouldnt want a lotus omega?

Looks like a really tidy install.


But the exterior bits really aren't too my taste at all.  The grill and bonnet vents look totally out of place and cheap.  Not so keen on the the mirrors either.  The front spoiler and debadging are ok though  :P    Totally subjective ofc.

It's not an M3, so take the mirrors off. The lips at the bottom of the bumpers look naff too. And the vents.

Make it look like a 2.0 Select Omega. Put a Lotus lump in it.

Then it's properly admirable.

I love this and i think the kit and grill and mirrors look fantastic...Steinmetz gear is not cheap at all i have the grill on mine and it cost me around £200....I have been trying to get a set of these mirrors for years. of course its all about peeps different styles and taste  but i love this looks different to eveybody else omegas who all seem to follow each other. Just my 2 pence worth. Must admit i agree about the vents.
