Title: A Few Mods I have done to my car.
Post by: car-nut on 18 August 2011, 21:05:37
I have changed the bootlid and added a prodrive spoiler.

(http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m624/crowej1/Omega/180820111115-001BlankReg.jpg)

Upgraded the headlight bulbs to the Xenon Blue bulbs.

Added Parking Sensors.

And I plan on upgrading the front and rear bumper, upgrading the front fog light bulbs to Xenon bulbs.

I agree, I wasn't 100% about the prodrive spoiler before but now I love it.  :)

I see what you mean, but I think that is the result of the picture, if you look at the gaps it looks fine, to me... :y

Don't worry no more photo's for now lol. The spoiler is straight as has been measured, but the gaps between the bootlid and the car aren't quite right yet, but will sort this out another day as I am having problems with the bulb upgrade on the front.

Dipped and sidelights are perfect but the main beams make NO difference to the night when I put them on. It seems that the H1's are slightlly too powerfull for them even tho they are all super bright legal bulbs. Although the H1's are from the UK and the H7's are from Hongkong.

Ok, you twisted my arm, just for trying to wind me up here is 1 more photo  ;D

Can't see the fascination with these lip spoilers!

Looks much better, never could get hold of a spoiler for my Omega, just left it in the end.

Youve done a nice job there mate.A set of 17" alloys (elite/mv6) would set it off nicely. :y

I came across this one by accident and was very lucky when I got it for £16 delivered.

Thanks, I am not going down the route of MV6 Wheels at the moment unless a set come up cheap, but I am going to upgrade the alloys to a set of 17" when I come across a set I like. And I will also be upgrading the exhaust eventually too.

I have done a couple of more little mods to my car.

I fitted xenon bulbs into the interior roof lights on the front and LED bulbs in the roof lights in the rear. Although found I have a wiring fault that means the passenger rear roof light doesn't come on with the rest of the courtesy lights but will turn on with the on switch. Weird. but will look into it another day.
