The benifits of working nights mean.....

[Chunk_22]

You have all day to do whatever you like, and in my case, a wash and polish of my Astra.
I have been kinda neglecting her recently, what with a pregnant fiancee and a house purchase in sight, thoughts of selling the Astra have been on my mind.
BUT, a change of wheels and a few nights driving have given me some new love, so there might be a change of plan.
Anyway, enough rabbiting on, here are the pics.




I do like a reflection....


At home with nature.


Far far away.


Arty or not?? I tried....


And in light of the car needing lowering, I thought I would go off roading, check the ascent capabilities.


And back down..


Hope you like the pics.
I have some serious thinking to do

Cheers, Mike

Gorgeous pics Mike.

IMO Life is about trying to balance the things u love. Forging a life with your fiance and a baby on the way(Congratulations btw) doesn't mean u have to give up your car, but if u eventually choose to, it won't be the last one u own surely. Good Luck to u.

I've recently come off my 3rd set of night shifts, how were you cleaning and polishing your car during the day? I spend all my days in bed sleeping! lmao

Astra looks nice, not to keen on the mesh behind the front fogs. I think a silver stripe round the edge of the alloy's might finish it off very nicely (or ruin it, needs a 'shopping to see really)

I only ever work nights mate, 11pm to 5am, sleep till 12 or 1, loads of time for my car.
Didnt know what else to have where the fogs were as I wanted them gone, so mesh it was.

looks good


what is that front spliter off looks factory i love it i want one LOL

p.s dont lower the car much more looks good as it is (30mm at the moment ??)

and it really wont do much for your handling if you do really low

[Chunk_22]

Its a laguna splitter mate, I just took my time fitting it as best as I could, I just removed the original splitter from the bumper first to get a better fit.
And yeah, Its lowered about 30-35mm on Koni adjustables, but the car is totally stripped out from the front seats back, so it now sits higher at the back.
IF I decided to keep the car, coilovers may be a option, although I cant find anywhere that sells them.

Cheers, Mike
