    Herts based newbie

    Hi

    Just a quick hello, did a newbie thread in general.... From Hemel Hempstead, noticed your Central meet not far from me so will hopefully pop over


    Anyone else from Herts/Beds/Bucks border area?

    Welcome to the Central Region Katie

    The Region is quite big and a lot of the members are very spread out so the meets are arranged to be as central as they can for everyone to get to.

    Luckily not costing me a penny, it was a B&Q sign that hit me and they have taken full responsibilty for it. They were really good, cheque was with me within days.

    I use Tradewerx in Harpendon, Steve who owns it is a perfectionist and have used him many times. Highly recommend

    Brought the car from someone in Luton, so prob have seen it about before, I only had it 6 weeks.

    Welcome, good to see another Astra G and one with a Prodrive kit like mine



    I remember when this region was like a Mk3 owners club, now its turned into a Astra G owners club lmao

    Btw i used to be the co-ordinator but resigned at the end of last year, have to stay around tho to kick Bex into line from time to time.

    TBH I have only just decided to keep the car, I sold my scoob just before xmas which was not really planned but someone offered me the right money. The Astra was only ment to be a temporary whilst I decided what car wanted next...... I still dont know what I want (typical girlie, lol) so looks like it will stay for a bit longer which means I do need to do some bits to it

    The other grill you can look at is on ebay, its about £20 from germany, and is just horizontal slatted. Looks pretty good really. I'll see if i can find a pic.

    You could just spray the current mesh with black high build paint, but it all depends how bad it is etc.

    HalFRUAD's didnt think of there, did try ebay but its a bit hard when I dont know exactly what it is I'm looking for.

    How easy they to replace?

    I wouldn't normally recommend Halfords but it's only mesh...can't really go wrong with that! lmao

    Not sure about the replacing as I've never owned any cars with mesh in my life! But I doubt it'll be that hard to do

    The mesh on the scoob was easy enough to do but easier to access, fingers crossed, lol as long as I dont break a nail I will be happy lmao
