My Astra

[Chapster5]

A visit from this guy on the cards?

Does it have a shark? - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...xhalls-hidden-sharks&highlight=vauxhall+shark

I'm going to get dressed now and go hunting for jaws! That's ace I never knew that ill report back with any findings!

 

[Chapster5]

I'm disappointed mine doesn't have any checked the glovebox around the back seats inside the boot and even under the access panel to the ecu port.

Tyre shine would set tht off mint! then I'd say leave as is! Quality IMO.

Which body kit was it you are thinking of buying?

Oh and the interior is nice too. Though if anyone didn't like it it could always just be painted a shiny GLOSS black anyway but don't change it fr what anyone else thinks.. I mean if someone else were to get one and don't like it etc...

Cheers mate, the kit is called an XP kit if you google Astra XP you will see it has little accents to the bumpers and subtle side skirts that look epic.

 

[Inequality Street]

I like these. Safe too, my neighbour got T-boned into on coming traffic on Friday. Came away un-hurt

 

[-Craigo]

Xp kit? Gets my thumbs up mate!

 

[Chapster5]

Hoping it won't come to that Ry .

That's the kit I'm getting Craig the full kit is £270 I think that's for the front chin splitter, rear spats, side skirts and spoiler. I'm going for a vxr spoiler though I think.

The car I needed desperately and it was my parents idea to get a loan out for it (well my dad took the loan out under his name because I wasn't old enough or something). The wheels I bought because I had. A stable job at the time so thought why not I can afford the monthlys.

I bet he's the registered owner and keeper of the car too and the insurance will be in his name

 

[Chapster5]

Nope it's all under my name just the loan is his.

 

[Chapster5]

Little bump on this. Not a lot more done to is as I strapped for cash but it's been over to Belfast and back and been on a couple of show stands was quite entertaining. Friend of mine over in Belfast did a small shoot for me before I left for home.

Then I de wipered it makes it a lot more cleaner. Oh it's all been tinted now, 5% on the rear, 25% on the rear 2 windows and 50% on the front windows. Also FlyEye type tint on all the lights.

​Still a marmite car... But I love it.

It's all a bit too black for me, Needs breaking up IMO but its your car so aslong as you're happy.

 

[Martin_172]

wondered how long before stickers would appear

Cheers buddy, I do like dark cars .

I had to break it up some how :rasp: I'm not going over the top though.

Stickerbomb's the next plan, is it not?

Few sheets of that I think .

 

[DanEdser]

ye boi.

That 'zorst is still fcuking annoying me.

 

[Poopensharten]

That tow strap looks like a Spaniels lug.

 

[RDH]

That tow strap is a disgrace.

 

[Poopensharten]

+1

Outrageous.

 

[DanEdser]

It's held on by a cable tie.

 

[Poopensharten]

Just seen the exhaust aswell, holy f**k thats bad.

 

[Chapster5]

Please don't point out the exhaust, haha! It isn't permanent its actually on Jubilee clips for the hangars as I wasn't prepared to cut my bumper for it I just wanted to hear how it sounded and could never be bothered to take it back off. That's why I keep it dirty it blends in a tiny bit more I want a twin pipe system built but £400 is stopping me right now.

I love my tow strap makes it stand out from the crowd :approve:.

 

[Philip.]

Standard exhaust, lose the strap and get it lower.
Doesnt look TOO bad though!

 

[Rob]

It wasn't bad pre tints, now it's proper G y0

 

[Lal B3N]

Each to their own.

Thank you very much I think it would be like loosing an arm if I got rid of the strap. I'm looking at JOM Blueline coilovers to drop it a little I don't really want to do a lot more I guess haha.

Helps me blend in at the local McDonalds Rob! .

Not a fan, looks like your typical chav car seen every day.

Marmite car for sure. I think it stands out from all the other chav cars as round my way it's all VAGs with destroyed suspension and wheels sticking out about 3 inches from the arches. That and body kits urgh.

 

[RDH]

Trust me mate, this car does not stand out. And if anyone actually does notice it, it is for all the wrong reasons.

 

[kpowell911]

Why you no lower it?

 

[Chapster5]

Trust me mate, this car does not stand out. And if anyone actually does notice it, it is for all the wrong reasons.

I've had loads of good comments from the shows I have been to with it so not all for the wrong reasons. People love it. Must be doing something right?

Why you no lower it?

I have no money or I would have it on JOM Bluelines right now grrr.

 

[viperjsy]

I like the the car and the wheels but don't like the strap apart from that it is a very nice car

 

[boffey]

Not a fan of fly eye head light tints, exhaust and the fact that the tow strap in on the totally different to you towing eye hole. But you like it so that's all that matters.

 

[Chapster5]

Thanks for the feedback guys . It is what it is and that is mine. I just like to share my hobby whether people laugh and joke about it or genuinely like it I know I have put some hours and money into making it one of a kind to me!

 

[Chapster5]

Tow strap is no more!

 

[Jaff.]

Your missing a number plate

 

[Chapster5]

It was on the floor next to me I take it off for most pictures better safe than sorry its back on now though .

 

[alexr19]

It looks all too dark for me. As long as you like it that's the main thing

 

[StephenJ]

Other than the random blue bits I like it.

Sorry, but I'm going to FLOL when some innocent AA/RAC man tries to tow your car and pulls the front bumper off...

*Only read page 1 so apologies if you've mounted it properly since then*
