Thanks I've painted front grille to black, still have to purchase headlights with angel eyes and that's it for exterior. And then we go under the hood...

[CraigGreen]

Nice! Needs a wash & wax though.

unusual wheel choice, I approve!

unusual wheel choice, I approve!

I'd only change them for 17" of same type, but tires are around 2,5 times more expensive

[Iggy_R]

Will do this weekend but I still don't have idea how to decorate that empty space without rollbar

[Layton]

Your steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side? lol. Only joking, very nice car mate.

I've completely forgotten to update this thread

Here's the whole story..

First a coupe of photos when it was purchased, I was driving it for a while like this, only upgrade were adjustable yellow Koni's and Koni springs -35 mm:










And then the fun begins... :P

C20LET engine and F28 transmission:





Bought new OZ Crono HT 7x17 wheels and Toyo Proxes T1-R 205/40 tyres:




Brake upgrade; front calipers from Calibra Turbo, new ATE Power front discs 288 mm (instead previous 256), new rear discs 260 mm, new pads and brake oil:





Stainless steel pipes from turbo to IC and IC to intake:




IC was moved up...





Test fitting the bumper with after cutting to fit the IC:



Some styling, black side indicators...




...and chrome hood lifters



Bit of ICE for longer journeys:






And finally couple of photos of current look:












Well, there you go, hope you like it.

The project is far from finished, I'll post updates as they come along.

[TINTIN]

I like that, very nice.

[Nobbie]

I know it's each to their own, and i'm liking to subtle upgrades, but i hate that grill, sorry.

Here are some new updates since my last post:

Since Astra is my everyday car, I had to take care of the comfort, so here's a "small" purchase :lol:



OMP Design 2 seats, here they are mounted in the car:





One picture with my mate:



And one more update from this morning, styling package 1/3, the other 2 are on their way
