Mine had orange fitted when I aquired it (TD estate) same year 2000 (W) so presume std factory fit.
Changed them to smoked finish.

Nice clean condition BTW, I've not got a name for mine, the wife has, but not telling. :-X :y ;)

Generally yes, for earlier facelift cars .... & all prefacelift. Clear repeaters are only a few quid each from Vauxhall & would really siut your silver car.  :y  :y  :y  :y

Like these ....  :y
PS Don't take it to the same place as The Boy for its MOT!  ::)  ::)  ::)

Orange side bulbs standard on facelifts until 2001 when they went clear for some reason.

I personally don't get the whole idea of 'ohh orange ones, they look awful' gang, i don't really notice them

Just like to say how nice it is to see someone proud of their Omega, which looks just like it left the factory.

Dont get me wrong, I'm always looking for the 'next' thing to tweak, or mod, but it's certainly refreshing to see such a standard car.

I'm sure ther'll be someone on here that can offer you a new under-headlamp trim, then she'll look really mint! Top.

cheers guys, thanks for the comments. i really am in love with it. yeah i picked it up and it was pukka. i got it for £1100, with 69000 on the clock so well low and i thought what a bargain. only thing was it didnt have proof of a cambelt/tensioner change so shelled out £430 for that but even so it's been a dream. :):):):)

Beautifully clean, one thing I'd like to ask has it been in a slight accident? Shut lines on the bonnet are wrong on the passenger side of the car and the headlight looks as if its positioned wrongly either that or the plastic trim underneath.

Real mint car thoug mate I like it  :y

yeah afraid so. i wasnt gonna admit to it as i'd only had it a few days and i had a small bump - what a doughnut haha

:(

vauxhall said the front impact bar had been pushed back but was fine other than that :)

dunno how much to get fixed ????
