Nope.

Omega A - Badged Carlton for UK
Omega B - 1994 Omega onwards....

There was never an Omega C, a change in letter means a new chassis, in 1999 when it was facelifted, it was a big one, with lots changed, but its basically same underneath.

The chassis is the same, external trims such as bumpers are different. The windows/doors are the same, so OmegaB wind deflectors will be fine. :y

No it's an omega A.

Brake pads iirc.

Post by: feeutfo on 19 March 2012, 20:04:36: Not sure on the benefit of wind deflectors, but I find opening the rear drivers side window as well, stops an awfull lot off buffeting.

They are without doubt the ugliest things known to man though ???

But each to thier own as they say. :)

You'd be surprised at how many Omega B parts cross over to the Omega A (Carlton).

My Carlton has Omega brakes and front suspension struts, and had an MV6 back box on it for a bit.
