Welcome to the forum. Like the wheels, but not too sure if they suit omega :-/
-
Welcome to site :)
Looks nice and tidy....
-
Nice car - Love the Grill mate 8-)
-
Lovely looking car, like the grill and the wheels [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
-
tidy.. wheels look a bit small for the car tho. maybe a 45mm drop to help annihilate that wheel/arch gap?
how was it fitting the facelift headlights? i want to fit them to mine but i havent a baldies whether its just a straight unplug and swap affair or not.
-
Nice grill.... alloys are nice. But not sure if they look right on a megger, try lowering it or putting bigger alloys on :)
-
Grill looks mean, wheels quite nice but that is personal opinion, needs dropping or higher profile tyres to fill the arches
-
Have often thought about dropping the suspension a bit but am concerned about ride quality loss so decided against it.
The wheels and tyres are exactly the same size as an elite would have from standard. I chose them to stand out and compliment the curves of the car and i think they work well - however I am sure they wouldn't suit a facelifted one.
The clear headlights are standard fit for the year so I didn't have to fit them. They aren't xenons but are a lot better than the ribbed type fitted to earlier cars. If your car is slightly older and has the ribbed type the clear ones are a straight replacement - saw some for £140 a pair on ebay just last week

Nice car mate. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Definately needs to come down a bit though, it's sitting far too high. The wheels do look good, but they draw you in and grab your attention, making the height far more noticeable.
The grill looks really good.
-
Manomega007 very nice looking car, I like the side repeaters that you have much nicer than the plain orange, and the wheels look pretty smart aswell :)
-
Nice car mate!! but agree with kev need's to come down about 30-40mm tho :)

How hard is it to lower these, is it just springs and shocks that would need to be changed have thought about but not allowed at the moment.

You can do either, full suspension kit consisting of new shocks and springs, or just lowering springs on their own.

Cool Maybe tempted later on if the funds are there :)
Although I need to sort out my wheels first.
-
I've lowered mine, but fitted the full irmscher suspesion kit. You can get spring only set's for around £130-150 from Eibach, makes a big differences on the look and handling of the car :)
-
I'm told that it can make a big difference to the tyre wear rate unless you get it properly 4 wheel aligned to suit the new height with particular attention to the camber angle.
Heh - you have one so you know how sensitive they are on standard set up.
Whilst I agree that dropping mine would look better but it's just not gonna happen - love the car to bits but it is on 132000 miles and is just over six years old so can't justify the spondulies.

I can see where you coming from :)

Like the grill too, I've had one on mine for some time with a V6 badge in the corner!
-
Very very nice... and in my favorit colour too.
