upgrades r a bit sparse???
« on: 29 July 2007, 18:32:26 »
hi all just got myself a 3.0 elite and am braceing myself for cost of getting it up to standerd?? so im really looking for body upgrades. ive allready had the bad news of irmscher prices and the fact that they do not produce much for the omega anymore. is there any other company that will provide a subitle kit for the omega. and also how can i get rid of the black plastic door moulds which circle the car could i fit a colour coded set from a earlyer model omega or is it a case of somthing else.....would really appreceate any help anybody could give me.....cheers matt

later facelift body mouldings are a direct fit in place of the black. these would need to painted to your colour.as for body kits steinmetz do some for the omega if thats what floats your boat.Personally i think the car looks good as it is.lowering makes all the diff but dont go lower than 25/30mm or the car will handle crap.

Please, Please, get the cam belt and rollers done as a matter of urgency, do not trust that because he said he had done the belt that it is correct or correctly installed. :o

The kit would cost about 90 quid trade club (you probably want to change the water pump at the same time £25 or so).    You can do it yourself although you will need access to a timing kit (borrow or hire from Autovaux - they also sell decent belt/tensioner kits).

I suspect our local Derby admin would do a better job, much cheaper ;)
