    Hey all,

    What do you think about slapping some chrome highlights on my omega?
    I was thinking boot strip (series 2 style)
    Door handles
    and possibly mirror covers

    This is how she looks now.

    I like the chrome boot strip and the chrome door handles (with the colour coded middle insert). I had the latter on my blue omega. In my opinion the mirror covers look very tacky so I wouldn't go anywhere near them.

    IMO it looks **** if you go abit of chrome on black, if ur gona go chrome on black u need to go hard out.
    Around the windows and if possible then on the door panel like the calais have
    Then 20s and drop it hehehehhe

    this guy has done what i have just said and i absoultely love it. Yours can be just as nice if u put money and effort in it :) Miniture version :p

    Definitely some classy chrome 20's to go with it. The extra calais bits that Hussy has mentioned would look great too.

    ok chrome on the boot (170) looks nice. on ebay there chrome covers for the door handles ($50) look great and also theres the chrome around the windows thats wat finishes it

    It's a Caprice, it comes with all that already. don't think they are stick on bits either, someone correct me if I'm wrong but the parts are flush with the door.

    IMO go for lots of Chrome only if you want an "old school" look.
