Many thanks to TURBOMEGA for supplying me with all the necessary parts. I don't think I could have done it without his help.
Now I wish I can bring it over to the European Continent for a nice OOF Meet... ::)

Nice one mate :y

Looks great mate :y

I lke it :)
I always tend to prefer cars when they're standard. But the little touches like the slightly darkened front lights and changing that orange marker on the bumper to a clear one makes a whole difference. I think headlight washers would look good on it. Might sound a bit of an odd thing to suggest, but I've always thought an Omega facelift looks better with the headlight washers on the bumper.

Very nice indeed
Had Turbomega's car grabbing lots of attension on my drive a little while ago and i was very impressed, and i have to say it is possibly the best Omega i have seen so far

Without a doubt his car has been an inspiration for me and often used as my desktop wallpaper... ::)
He helped me acquire a lot of parts for my car and I did the same for him. We are both trying to have unique rides that are one off examples.
Without a doubt the Omega is my favorite car due to many different reasons.
On this side of the big pond they are not very common and you will be lucky if you spot 1 in a week... so that being said every time I am on the road I see people taking pictures of it or simply turning heads as if a Ferrari or something of that nature was driving down the road. LOL ::)
The last thing I am debating on doing is lowering it but that involves a lot of other issues so I am holding off for the moment.
If someone can help me with the EU Chips I would like to do that as well.
I have a spare ECU but need some more opinions from you mates! :( Not much info here!
In case you fellas are wondering about all the work that went in it... look here > http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3006002

Cracking car there mate. Well worth the effort and certainly serves as inspiration.
Nice set of alloys as well, although my personal preference was the set you had on before the latter ones in the photos. Howver, I am sure I'm in the minority.

Like it :y :y :y :y :y :y :y

I'd love your old Cadillac badging as I think driving a Caddy has more cred than driving a Vauxhall!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean but here we have nothing but Cadillacs so driving an Opel actually makes it more exclusive because they are non existent...
Same as if you were driving a Cadillac in the European Continent... so if anyone wants the Caddy grille I will look around for something!

I do like the Catera I must say :y

...what about a complete car, Cat - are they fetching strong money over there?

Well to be honest they have gaind a reputation of being a car that brakes a lot and costs too much to fix often due to the fact that the dealer is the one who is rippign their customers off.
One of the members had a quote for full brake job on the car and it topped 1000$, and the parts cost no more then 200$... so go figure!
Otherwise as far as prices go they started selling those in 97 so you can find them between 1000-2000$.
If you go 2001 Sport = 2001 Omega MV6 trim but with automatic then you can get to around 4000-5000$.
I recently found a 2000 Sport with 79K for 3100$ whcih was dirt cheap and the car was in immacualate condition.
A lot of people also dont know about these cars and the lack of them on the roads makes them like ghosts, they pass unnoticed to most of the motorists.
THen you see one like mine and 90% of the motorists either turn around to get a better look or they take pictures... LOL ::)
