Well today I thought I would get the irmscher parts out of the Garage and try them on the car before I send them to the body shop for spraying, it took me 2 years to track down all the irmscher parts.

Cool! :y
Its just that I was gonna put my front bumper on the MV6, which is black, but I thought it would be kinda lost - your pics prove that!
So it's going on the 'EliTruck' instead, which is green - although knowing me, it won't be the same green as it came from Russelheim................

Are your rims 9x18 or 8x18 Jim?

Are your rims 9x18 or 8x18 Jim?
Both, I have 2 sets, but have mixed them on both my silver omegas, I have 8x18 on the front axles and 9x18 on the rear axles on both cars :y
I also have a 3rd set which are only 17" ET38 and they are on the car just now, but only until I get the irmscher kit fitted then I will fit the 18"
-
Can't wait to see the finished product 8-)

I have bought a set but I have received 4 9x18 and I'm looking to swap 2 for 8" with some one...

You can't wait, It will take me a few weeks as I'm working away from home at the moment so can only do bits & pieces at weekends

I got one set on German ebay, but I was working there so I collected them,
As I said it took me 2 years to get all the parts ;)
I'm driving via Belgium in July on my way back from Italy in my 1996 Irmscher Omega

Yeah but instead of buying 4 new rims (expensive), I'm after some one who has 4 8x18, and so swap 2 rims to make 2 set mixed ;)
Mine are just been refurbished, so in mint condition.
In facts, I have just "Irmscherized" my facelift too, I have all the body parts (all refurbished), the complete polished wood effect interior (with Irmscher steering wheel and gear knob)...
I have just this "problem" with the rims now, need two 8" for the front... :'(

Saloon or estate, what condition is it in and how many pennies, please?
-
its for a saloon and is in good condition other than a small crack about 3 inchs long at the top of the bumper, it is an easy fix for a bodyshop its the same colour as the rest of the kit in jims photos. it owes me £250 but im open to offers.

The car is in the body shop at the moment getting the irmscher body kit painted
Heres the photos so far of the twin exhaust;
