My Astra Wip
« on: April 30, 2011, 08:27:36 PM »

Well i had absolutely no intentions on doing anything to this car other than a standard set of alloys to replace the steelies as to be honest i did'nt really like the car that  much,never been a fan of the mk4's.
Anyway after nearly 2 years of not doing anything to cars the bug came back and i gotta say i now really like this car,anyway pics are up in the astra showroom of how it looked last thursday when i took ownership of it,just over a week later and heres how it now looks.
new back end,de-badged,tinted rear lights, new backbox and new number plates.


new de-badged grille and number plate

close up of number plate...

new 17's off ebay with pirrelli p7000's

new centre badges for the wheels

new badges to replace the "club" badges in the door mouldings

lowered on Eibach's 40mm


so as you can see its changed a bit since last week.next up is a rer spoiler,tidy up the bumpers cos they're quite scruffy and a bit of interior work then i think that'll do............for now.

well they could've made the rear springs better,the o/s rear had 2 1/2 coils missing  :lol:
also,looking at the pics i should've got some Opel centre badges for the wheels really what with the Opel door moulding badges but could'nt find any at the time,never mind though still looks better.
