excuse me for asking a daft question but what is perforated vinyl? is it like tinted window film? ps the grill looks much better than the standard one  :y

Nice grille - mine's a bit like that. 8-)

i believe that vinyl is also known as "bug eyes" or "fly eyes" its almost like a mesh. used for tinting headlights legally :y :y

ID LIKE TO SEE A FOTO WHEN THEYRE DONE
whoops sorry wasnt shouting

Sorry Matty...Don't like it at all. Makes the car look REALLY old...

This on the otherhand ????  Looks the business on a "dark" Omega F/L.

The grill is deffo an improvement, I like it  :y

and oh my could it be? The colour isn't graphite at all is it?
I've never seen another Omega the same colour as mine but your's does look to be!
Does it have a bronze tinge in the sunlight at all?

Your car - your rules, but bit of a shame to fit Billies with El Cheapo springs, I think. 
Seriously, you need summat like Eibach springs. Those PI things are rubbish and last only a year or so.
Cheap springs have no real temper and suddenly, the car can get alot lower.............and the struts will take a right pounding.

Makes the car awful to drive too - and yep, I'm speaking from experience! :y

cheers for that mate, im selling the car come summer tho, if they are crap i will take em off, luckily they are so simple on these lol

Looks good mate

Nice :y

Well after spending a year trying to find this grill I have it on a month and decide to sell the car,

So I will be putting all my "mods" in the for sale section soon

17s
Wheels spacers
Pi springs (fitted for a week)
Opel bits

Shame as I love this car but needs must as I am doin more miles for work and the lovely v6 isn't helping my wallet lol

Also a 2000 x plate 98k mile v6 saloon will be up for sale end of the month

Shame Matty, as I have an Opel Plenum here for sale :(

I know, cracking car.. One the best I owned. But I think it might be replaced with a signum

tha grill makes it look so much better, loving the chrome stripe coming off the sides, giving me ideas ;)


would the headlight film be lamin-x at all?

Can't remember now, got a link for the stuff,
