Sorry to see you fell victim of the weather, i do bodywork repairs and live in Cheadle, if you need any help with anything let me know.

tnx m8 might take you up on that 

Have you found the paint code http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1222004989 ?

Might be worth finding the code and doing a search of the parts for sale section using the code as a search string.

i will check the paint code tommorow im too drunk to do anything now, drowning sorrows and all that.!

anyone know some ballpark figures for parts needed? ive spotted a wing for £55 but its a pattern part!

I've got a gold front bumper if you're stuck, cheap too. Also may have a N/S headlight with a broken adjuster if you're really stuck, just as a sto-gap

As for the headlight not being HID, that's simply a case of swopping the bulb, self levelling unit and ballast pack to the replacement.

Gutted for ya mate - not nice.

Hope you get it sorted soon!

[PhilRich]

Commiserations mate, there will be more of us joining you before this weather sods off I bet!

[Agemo]

In a few weeks you will be laughing at this. There will also be people saying "I wish my car only had a little damage like that". The last time I bought a wing, it cost me a fiver! Good luck mate.

Projector lens is not designed for use with HID bulbs. GM projector lens has H1 stamped on it whereas GM HID lens has DS2 on it.

Yes quite easily if we could get together you could have it for a tenner and I'd help you do it

try these www.vauxhallspares.co.uk and www.megavaux.co.uk they may have what you need

To make a projector hid, you need to swap the internal lense assembly over as well as the bulb and ballast etc.

Not to big a job.

The front lenses are the same from a design perspective but, they have different markings on (not a big issue)

[Welung666]

The indicator part is seperate and I have self adhesive mirror film, we could repair the reflector. If you can't get down then post it and I'll swop it all for you
