Gotta make it mine, Andy - innnit! ;)
Blue LED's (now that's different! LOL!!) for clocks and MID arrived today, and will installed this weekend.
I have some (tasteful) ideas that should materialise over the next few months, and 20" rims are not on the genda -maybe 18's though.
That Senator A - a twenny in cold hard cash to take it out of your way? LOL!!! ;D

Sssssssh. Don't let TB hear you say that ;)

If your installing blue lights then get yaself ready for a good supply of Vauxhall Lightswitches as you will be blowing them up every couple of months!
The blue LED's do not like the dimmer switch and it was never designed for LED's so blows up in the end i wired my Gay Led's upto the fuseboard with there own 5a fuse & Switch as i was sick of buying lightswitches all the time

If you want blue ( :P ) illumination on the dash and MID why not just by the coloured capless 501 bulb and replace the clear 501`s :-?

Cos they fade over time - tried green ones in our lass's Elite - besides, I like LED's and have them here. :y
I know about the dimmer switch issue - I never touch it to be honest. ;)

I would like to know if anyone has ever made there own for the facelift and if they have any photos. :-/

I wonder if someone tried fitting a pre'lift grille to a facelift car? (Or t'other way round).
I'd find it hard to beleive that GM would change a bumper and panelwork pressings to suit a plastic grille which costs them pennies to make/buy!

Pretty sure all facelifts are the same, whether it be Omega or Catera? :-/

Have a look at a catera front bumper then a omega bumper.
Yes they are the same type shell but the get it though usa law they had to modify some panels.When i worked at the Bentley factory the parts we had the change for the usa ran into hundreds of parts,bumpers,bumper hardware,lights etc
