were not talking about bodykits though are we

 

[geordieracer]

NO, but the question asked was is he modifying an astra van, and implying why?

You said lots of people do it. Thats not a good reason to do something though is it? Hence the comment about japped saxos. Just because people do something doesnt make it cool.

[iimushroomzii]

Thats proper smart.

I dont see the problem in modding a van its no worse then kids on here modding their 1.2 clios

If you need a van for work or doing your daily business then who wouldnt want there van to look smart? People mod there cars because they want them to look smart.

No difference.......

 

[Naith]

dont like meganes either

it looks ok yeh, will be nice to see next round of mods u do.. as some of the really modded ones look greatly improved

For one we aint kids as iirc you need to be 17 to drive?
For two most 17 year olds want to drive around in a smartish car but we aint all got money we can splash about and buy 172 and 182s so a 1.2 is the better option
For three, what have you got against folk modding 1.2s? its the same as folk modding 172s?

Ive got nothing against people modding any car but some people are two faced when they moan at someone wanting to mod a van

True, if its a daily driver, you want it to look good no matter what it is

 

[daydotz]

the black one looks mint

 

[iimushroomzii]

Suppose, but keeping it looking mint when its used for work is gonna be a near impossible task. Depending what work its used for.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Get airbags who gives a s**t about handleing its a van, some nice wheels nice paint job will be the shizzle then

[alex-avfc]

I like it mate...and think the astravan moddin is actually quite cool

 

[cat171]

Some look ok, some don't. That's my take on them.

Some of them must be a nightmare when you get in them wearing your dirty work clothes!

Lol, people who mod them don't use them for work.
