Advanced Auto Sport:

£100 - £120 for steel
circa £150 for polished alloy

The method of payment is by cheque / cash then he orders them in from for Germany.

He does point out that as these are German and designed for LHD cars he cannot garuntee that there will not be fouling on a RHD UK spec Omega.

He has had some experience of this with Golf GTI for example.

He does need age, model and engine specifications to make sure he gets you the right part.

I rang their number and his wife answered; so he obviously works small time cottage industry stylee from home.


Whiteline only do Corsa, Astra & Vectra; no Omega.

You did better than me, I've just been on that lexmaul site and I can't find a strut brace.

How in the hell did you do it? The site needs you to understand German just to drill down. It's a bit like stabbing in the dark.

EDIT: I just found one on there for in the boot! I didn't think that they would do those. i was thinking for under the bonnet at the front, but I can't see one anywhere.

The German for strut brace is: Fahrwerksstrebe
