    Yep john had to fill 5 holes left by slats, 1 semi circular left by badge and 2 gaps on the V left by the badge.

    Easy - the side skirts are off a bmw 3 series coupe - about 30mm lower than m3 ones for astra (to tight to get proper beemer m3s)

    Also to mention ITS FOR SALE £2650ono (see limk below)

    Yeah, was thinkin of breakin it but not to bits, just put it back to standard and sell bits -
    which wud be-
    Springs,
    Bumpers
    Wheels
    Skirts
    Mirrors
    Spoiler
    Exhaust
    induction kit
    wheels. etc

    But would really like somone to take the lot rather than undo all my nice work, Know wot i mean.
    I'm after a car with a bit more class and prefferably a diesel, lookin at beemer 525 tds or Audi tdi. Something sensible?

    looks nice for 5 door, love the rear splitter and front bumper but not to keen on v-grille. Gsi grill is ok but a m8 of mine has got a std one and cut the slats out, i think that looks the best (will see if i have a pic handy)

    Re: Wot u think of the styling/mods on my Astra mk3?

    I personally love the grill this way, I think is very original and not seen one like it anywhere.
    Wheels are kn rs type i think, they are 17" kahn rsr replicas.

    Exhaust is scorpion twin monza fully stainless cat back for the gsi.

    Didn't like the gsi grill, didn't suit the car, wud like a reiger infinity grill but too expensive, i think ill stick to mine, more original and personal me thinks.

    I've seen an original grill with slats removed (phase 1) and it took me a while to work it out?
    Are u on about a v grill or phase 1 D8MOF?

    As for rear splitters, I used to sell em on ebay but demand dropped off and was taking to much time.

    Re: Wot u think of the styling/mods on my Astra mk3?

    ive got a 5 door k plate one, looking to do more or less the same, except chop out the gsi front bumper recess!

    how does the gsi stainless fit? is it just a straight swap? what about mountings and the join to the cat?

    Re: Wot u think of the styling/mods on my Astra mk3?

    The exhaust is a straight fit to phase 2 astras phase 1 ones need modification to the back box hangers as on the phase 2 and gsi there are 2 hangers but altho in slightly different places a longer rubber mount can be used to fit gsi systems to the phase 2, and phase 1 only has one single hanger.

    but apart from that it's a bit of menouvering to get the 3" pipe clear of all feul tanks and other stuff it could knock against.
