Aftermarket for Opel Omega
My friend wants to buy a Cadillac Catera which has many variations in europe including the vauxhall and opel omega i believe and others, i was just wondering if any of you friends overseas could locate some aero-kits or other aftermarket accesories for this car ( mesh grill, performance, etc..), i have found some, but cant find prices. there is a bodykit by a german company named Steinmetz...thats all i found so far. any help would be appreciated, leave a message or emial me at [email protected] with websites or other info. thanks much

I personally prefered Steinmetz cause its more gracious and on Omega B it looks very good.
Old Irmsher kits was boring imo, not much for the money they asked. Now on later models its a different story

Steinmetz and Irmscher were also the first that came up in my mind. Oh, and a LS1-swap.

I agree with Arman, that kit better fits with the cars natural lines, it blends in better
