yes, does look good. Same shots as shown on here.
Should have been on the front cover rather than that brown thing with a pilon in the background. But then it is straight6 news not v6 news.

Shame Nathen prefers the Steinmetz spliter to the Irmscher item? (imho of course)

Like the way the car sits especially though. Wheres a good place to get 25mill wheel spacers? By good i mean cheap(ish)

Yeah, looks good ,huh?

I think it's great that there's room for Steinmetz on someone's car! Thumbs Up!

Not as popular but just as distinct - like the wheels - not my cup of tea but don't they suit that car just so well!

As the editor, Alex, is an Omega man, we might see a few more, but as every editor knows they can only include what's been sent in.

There's some great stuff in the OOf gallery that could be a great advert for the Omega.
I guess some folk may not want to, I dunno?

Lovely to see it anyway!
Thumbs Up!

And on New Years eve with a road composed of sheet ice I managed to make the front look rather Sad! Roll Eyes

......Then again, the replacement one feels slightly more lively in the engine department and far more planted with new suspension all round! Cool
