My exclusive from the start

[David Ramsey]

This is how I bought it

Then got some french style plates and got some new fogs and made them yellow

After that I got some coilovers to get it to a height I liked

The standard wheels went for a refurb so I got some spare 15" steel wheels from SEM in Sunderland who done the refurb

My standard wheels were back on last summer, and yes that is a LY astra before anyone asks again lol

Went to Leeds twice and York once so the car was looking pretty dirty, easily the worst it's ever been

Got some new wheels but they're a tight fit

Then this is how the car is now, apart from the wheels have had the kerb marks taken off just before FCS

 

[Jason_E]

That looks quality! Nice work

 

[JackoR26]

Stunning mate, really suits those wheels :approve:

 

[Nick172Cup]

Saw this at Fcs, absolutely loved this car! It just looks so right decked with borbets, would almost contemplate selling the cup for one of these! Do they have a plaque on these like the williams etc etc?

[StevenMc29]

Liking the yellow fogs.

 

[Winston]

Looked sweet at FCS..... needs 9's tho

 

[Chris205]

looks lovely mate, I thought you had flat centre caps though?

 

[David Ramsey]

Would love the 9" versions but I would have to raise the car up.

Never had flat caps but I'd like them, maybe later if I keep it.

It's just turned over onto 50k on the way home from FCS

 

[sean_d]

Love this :approve:

 

[Bluebeard]

[JayK89]

Looks good. This might be a bit of a noob question but whats the difference between this and a normal ph1?

 

[VeinAST]

Looks great

Glad you kept the PH1 rear lights

 

[David Ramsey]

Looks good. This might be a bit of a noob question but whats the difference between this and a normal ph1?

Nothing with regards to performance. They're all green, full leather and BBS wheels, the ones that are on at the top of the thread

 

[scott1205]

[Impey]

Does look a minter

 

[Willliams]

Nice work David..! Wish the people that bought my old one took as much car with it as you've done.

Chris.. yes, they're all numbered individually on a cill plaque, 001 - 172. Plus the a couple of late ones that aren't.. 'aparently'.

 

[David Ramsey]

If I got a ph1 would have to be an exclusive.
