looking rather nice tbh.

Very nice - but the front spoiler, I must admit, is not to my taste.

That's ok GK, the way we (individually) want our cars to look will always be a subjective thing...
I must admit, I wasn't sure until it was painted and on the car, now it is, I am very happy with it. :-)
Thank you for the comment though

oooh, I do like a firm bust. 

Looks clean in the pics.  Maybe this is a stupid question but what's so special about woodentop spec rear springs?  Are they rising rate or something?

Lol... Firm "bust" Should say "but" Lol... I did it on my phone and it does it all the time..... Predictive txt! Ha!!! 

Woodentop??? It was lowered and stiffer springs from the police, cost a fortune to replace from Vauxhall!.....

YEAH YOUR TELLING ME!!!!!! had a broken front so priced up a new set..... maybe not ebay i went & found a mv6 breaking with irmscher red springs for £40 complete on struts they do nicely!!

Looks by nice  have you any plans to change the grille for an irmscher one? I reckon that would look pretty mean.

I wasn't and I did paint the standard grill but the more I see of the Irmy one, the more I like it!

I'm working on trim ATM next year I hope to paint it and from there, who knows???

Oh! That Dan....
Yes, this thread was re-started by Dan because I had problems but the cream has cleared that up! :-) Lol....

No, I don't know where he has gone either...

DazzerM,

Yes, she has 153k on her and I think the engine might get changed sooner or later at this rate! Been on it all afternoon and I still don't have the pass' manifold off... I'll leave that for the other thread...

Looks great, be better with black wheels imo

Lol, I do have plans for the wheels but not black!
If I do ever get round to painting her, the wheels will be does at the same time....

I have had Omegas with different sets of alloys, split rims staggered fitments, and had alloys worth 3 times what the car is You name it I have done it 

And my own opinion is nothing can beat the early FL MV6 alloys, they suit the lines of the car perfectly IMHO
