my my...what a lovely Astra you have there Mr Doors. Some very nice touches too. Love the coded blue wheel centre caps. they set the painted calipers off very nicely.

i'm defo parking in a dark corner at the next meet to avoid being shown up.

cheers buddy, thought u seen them before, but then not really noticeable till u really look...


as for bein shown up.. i still feel like that when i go to meets, theres so many nice astras out there, its just a matter of makin urs ur own with little touches and urs is comin along nicely....

too kind, too kind.

i do have plans for the estate... like getting the XP kit painted & fitted, 18" BK999's, fancy exhaust, smd conv etc etc. Given the state of my piggybank at the mo though those plans are gonna take a while to see the light of day.

all in good time my dear either that or just ask Santa (thats what i plan on doing)

oh dear!!!! I suggest you get saving then!!!!

well thought i'd put few pics up of what ive added over the past month or two...

always wondered if i could get rings for these vents...and i finally got some..



managed to give car quick clean before i put these on last month..burg mirror covers:P






Then i put these blue anti-theft caps on, as one had gone missing..



Then it was time for sum bulb upgrades

started with the reg platewith these led's...



i didnt think they were bright enuff as once theyre in they shine sideways..



so i took them out and put them sumwhere else..you will see later..
so got the same type but these shine downwards and has 2 led's instead of 1



much better
:thumbs:

Onto the interior lighting.

started off with a blue led festoon and blue map readers....





thought that was too blue tbh, so i changed the map readers to the white leds i had in the reg, they were perfect aas they point down with the led on the end, plus can see better need be, even tho the blue gives off plenty of light.







Then i replaced the visor mirror bulbs which were 286's...




Then my last bulbs came today for the rear lights.
same as the reg ones nearly but blue, slightly different blue than festoon, but im happy with it.







Thanks

that looks awesome

ohhhhhh nice bulbs and nice caps!!!! Santa bring you them???

So finally got my rear bumper sorted after 12 mths..nice new paint job..so then had to tart up the rear now ive done the front...

went to longlife/barkers in preston on friday and had a stainless cat back custom sytem made:D lifetime warranty:P

i was there all day,had to go back today for a few tweaks as the right pipe was not in the middle of the cut out, and things were banging and rattling..and i thought the pipes stuck out too much, i wanted them to look standard ish ...so they sorted most of it and they stick in a bit more now, but the right one ever so slightly in a bit more, and the left one needs to go left slightly now lookin at pic 2:sus:

so here a few pics i took earlier to day..















Tried a couple of vids
