My VE Omega from Start to Finish

[johnny_boi85]

Hi guys ive just gone out and bought this VE Omega i couldnt be happyer with it.
I payed $14,500 its a 2007 model it only has 95,000ks on it no scratchs no dints and the interior is perfect. Im starting this post so you can all see the car change over time from the start and to get some ideas and input from you all and maybe see sum pics of your rides aswell. Im looking at just putting sum adjustable coilovers in it and putting 22's and exsurst to start with then we will se where it goes from there hoping to start getting into the NSW cruize scene aswell so you might see this car looking hot on the road soon i hope. well hope to see ya all soon and hopefully meet sum new good mates along the way.

definitely gotta drop it, first thing i would do

Love the colour. With the omegas, it's a good idea to keep the mods to mainly cosmetic - you don't get much $/kw value in performance mods - but it's totally your call on that.

^^^ lower it. Agree completely. I could almost get my head in the gap between guard and rear wheel - and I have a fat head! With that colour, it definitely needs some SSV tail lights (love the colour, incidentally). And I'd be very tempted to bin the badges. Flick Greg from GSL Rallysport a pm before you lower it and discuss what you want from your car in terms of handling. He's very cluey with that and will be able to suggest (and obviously supply) the right gear for your needs.

actually i was thinking, if ur going for 22s, maybe wait til u get them, and get the suspension done at the same time, otherwise u might find urself having to get the suspension adjusted or changed :P

[johnny_boi85]

lol it is a rather big gap between the tires and the gaurds even compaired to other standed VE's. I am looking more towards visual then proformence just wanna look good cruizin around and yeah im looking at the LED tail light for it at the moment aswell. i have been thinking about gettin rid of the badges and getting the shorter bee sting antenna for it. where abouts is Greg from GSL Rallysport might try get on to him before i go spend money on struts and stuff and RUF-60L i would rather wait and get it all done at the same time mad that mistake with my VT i will upload sum more photos as i buy the parts might take a while as the bank account i still a bit sore for buying the car

GSL is a sponser on this site, just send him a message telling him what u want or asking what he would recommend

Hey mate check out my omega mods thread for some ideas, real good idea to do the front lights to they look sweet as. with regard to the bee sting antenna they look nice but they r not very useful, I grabbed one from ebay and was not impressed. As soon as i got in to the perth hills no more JJJ very unhappy :-(
