Which is the rarest kit, the saloon or estate?
-
Estate I would think.
-
Think I have only ever seen one estate which was Elite Pete's. Saloons are ten a penny ;D

Bobs only had the front and skirts.
...because its the rear estate bumper that's rare. Air dam and side skirts are the same for Estate and saloon.

-
Yeah but it's pig ugly.

Nice :y :y
I knew the front was the same. but I didn't realize the skirts were too.

I think the estate is quite rare, although there was one on ebay;

When i brought bobs old car i put the side skirts on well the supplying dealer did they were £1k :o :o wanted £2k for the rear bumper front was already on got a good deal was an ex demo think i paid £19k all told not bad for a 6month old mv6 with leather etc cant wait to see it again now Ljay and Jimbob have done some work on the car bet its gleaming :y
-
Twiglets car i think is absolutley lush i am so tempted to raid the piggy bank even with out skirts and rear bumper its still one of the best looking omegas i have seen imho what a battle that is going on in my head at the moment :D :D
-
Imo the Irmy estate rear bumper very fugly,which may be why they are rarely seen on cars.Maybe estate owners genrally fell the same. :-\
-
I'll be honest and say that I'm not a fan of the Irmscher rear bumper on the estate. I did have a set of sideskirts to fit to my car, along with the front bumper, but after a bit of head scratching and photoshopping, I decided the front bumper looked better with the std skirts and rear bumper.
It's all down to personal tastes though, and we are all different.
Paul, if you are seriously interested in my car mate, give me a shout. I'd love to see the car go to someone who will properly appreciate it, and I need some building work doing...
I smell a deal in the offing... ;D :y

That one has a tow bar, so the either side exhaust type is not compatible. Single exit not as nice IMO. It's the either side exit that's the one to have.

Edit to ad, Lazytinker has an irmscher brochure Showing a Black omega estate with either side exhaust. It looks the business IMO. But I see what Twiglet means, it could look a bit busy to some, ESP in the lighter colours. Black envelopes detail though, so get one on there T. ;)
Each to their own as they say. :)

great to hear jimbob love that car :y :y

I must admit, I'm still on a mission to "Irmscher up" mine with the full kit and the rear bumper. I've got a tow bar so the either side exhaust will have to be custom built but there is space to pass a custom pipe through the gaps as long as it's well heat shielded... I'd probably use heat wrap as well as some plates :-\
However, every time I start getting some pennies saved up for the "toys" for the car I end up spending it elsewhere :'( ::) Currently not in a position to spend too much on cosmetic stuff as we're seriously looking at our future location :y

Yup, it really is isn't it?
It's just too busy.
I put a front bumper and side skirts on my Pre-facelift and a Face lift rear bumper on the back of my estate. I'm very pleased with how it looks.
Irmscher just didn't get it right with the Estate.
As people have mentioned, perhaps that's why you see so few?
