Yeah i done it myself, only took an afternoon, and now looks like factory fit. I got the idea from the lower Vectra Steinmetz grill, but obviously they don't do one for a MK3 Astra so i had to use my brain, came up with this and i'm really happy with it.

As childish as it sounds, i'm not gonna say where its from as its a one off mod that i'm gonna keep to myself, all i will say is that it cost me under £20 fitted with brand new parts!

**johnsastra16v** · 07-10-2003 08:37

nice 1. have u got a pic i could possibly c of urs?

No secrets on the lower grill as it took me ages to find something to fit as perfect as that.

I can almost guaruantee you haven't, this has only been out for a few months!

Anyway its not mesh, i don't like mesh on subtlely styled cars, i've gone for a standard modified look.

Thats why its a proper cross hatched grill to match my Steinmetz upper one.

PM me if you think you know though.

**Genterz** · 08-10-2003 11:26

What skirts u got on there AstraSport?
(or is that hush hush aswell lmao )

**Astra Sport** · 08-10-2003 12:13

Well i got my inspiration from my local swimming pool!!!!! haha bet thats got u guessing....

**Astra Sport** · 09-10-2003 06:27

Ha ha ha...! No my parts actually come off of new cars! But fair play for inspiration though.

**PERALBOY** · 09-10-2003 08:10

lol imagine not telling people where you got some mesh, does't even look good meshing that bumper in my opinion, but hey each to their own!

**Astra Sport** · 09-10-2003 08:19

For a start its not mesh, its a proper cross hatch plastic grill exactly the same style as a Steinmetz upper one, plus it looks like it came out of the factory rather than straight from Halfords!

Secondly, its nice to see some subtlely modified cars adapting standard parts and making them fit rather than just bolting on fibreglass bumpers that don't fit properly and metal go faster spoilers that make them look like shopping trollies!

I think its about being individual when it comes to cars, otherwise whats the point?! Thats why i want to keep ther part to myself, if somebody guesses what it is then fair enough.
