This post is really for Phil (Mr Skruntie) as I did promise him some pictures, only taken me over a month 

This is mine to keep, it's a 2003 '52' 2.6 manual Elite saloon. Registered sometime in Feb '03
Few things I want to do to it, the only thing I really need to do is fit leather to it. The Omega velour is actually more comfortable than leather by a small margin, but I think velour looks a bit naff. Much prefer LT. The only problem is late 2002 and 2003 Omega's had a different style of leather, a more matt effect. So I can only fit late style leather to it, which is proving very hard to find.
The exhaust system is particularly cheap, so I'll replace that at some point.
One other thing is to get the telematics unit working properly, and then it'll be done.

I haven't had time to wash it, so please forgive it's poor appearance.

I like it a lot, in fact with a cream leather interior I think that'd be probably one of the nicest Omega's out there  Love the badges too 

[Mr Skrunts]

Nice one Josh. 

I think my new Omega needs a new screen in it now that I have seen that colour one.

  you noticed?
I have about 16 'Omega 3.2 V6' badges that I use on ex police one's as some don't have them...so I couldn't resist 

Ideally I'd like a lighter interior...but I know I won't bother to replace all the interior parts that'd need replacing, so I'll stick with the easy option of just finding black leather.

Nice one Josh.

The colour screen makes the whole unit much easier to use. The GID does a good job, but I wouldn't want to go back to a GID now. The CID gives map display and is just much better looking and easier to use. I may make a post detailing all the extra functions of the CID above that of the GID, as to me...it's made a massive difference having it.

Little things  I used to do the same with everything, needs a twin pipe now 

I think cream on black looks good (that sounded bad  ). If you look at the E60 leather which is cream and black too, I'll find a pic and PM it to you so you can see what I mean. Will probably be extra difficult to find mine you  :-/

very nice....and crying out for chromed indicator bulbs 

Thanks 

I'd never thought of that actually, I suppose it'd then match with the clear side repeaters and rear lights.
