Keep it subtle mate, you've got a perfect base to work with now! here's what i'd do:
-Cesaro alloys
-Gsi rear lights
-Gsi spoiler
-Black angel eyes
-Black interior trim
-Sport seats/door cards

Job done :)

You going to lower it a bit then? say 30/40mm?  Twin backbox would finish it off too, getting mine in April :)

Simply Dan because it's to much messing around on the Astra.
Leather options are:
Cavalier
Calibra
or if you're rich and lucky
Rare as hell Astra CDX leather which then gives matching door cards

With cavalier and Calibra you can't use the door cards either. the rear seats need to much messing around although the fronts go straight in. Sport interior ftw! looks great and proper supportive too :)

I thinks it looks better without the bump strip and the good old T-Cut has helped it no end :good:

Looks a lot better now buddy, fair play to you..... You can do mine next if you like  :lol:

A little loving goes a long way, the only downside to red paintwork is you need to keep on top of it (ooh er!).... but it's worth it in the end. I remember my old red mk3 Astra, when I got it, it was a rather nasty pink fade.. It took nearly a week of intense t cutting and polishing to get it red again..... but once I got there with it, it did look really nice.



Sorry to babble on your thread mate  :blush2:
