pics/opinons of astra mk3 with NO rear wiper/badge

C9SRi · 19-05-2005, 21:34

anyone? considering it... i know its not pratical... but my cars not pratical

SimonP · 19-05-2005, 21:38

Rear badge looks good off. No wiper looks like poverty spec imho. You'll swear at it in the winter when you cant see out the rear window for shyt.

dogsy · 19-05-2005, 21:41

remove the badge and put a smooth wiper arm on, looks alot better !!

19-05-2005, 21:45

IMO, it doesn't look like a poverty spec - as no MK3 Astra Hatch came without one.

I think it looks heavily modified, and damn smooth!

I'll grab some piccies

SimonP · 19-05-2005, 21:46

That's why I said it 'looked' rather than 'it is'. Looks nice without, but needs a smooth wiper IMHO.

EasyRob · 19-05-2005, 21:46

Here's my 2-penced worth, from my limited collection of Astra III's

Don't like the spoiler, do like the moulded rear bumper

Panel could be smoother. Strangely, the jap exhaust doesn't look too bad for some reason.

Bar the lights, I absoliutely love this. Non-Rieger wide arches, Euro wheels, nice back panel, centre exhaust.

Featuring the rear clusters I'm going to be selling at the end of June

Absolutely farpin love this

C9SRi · 19-05-2005, 21:48

its wouldnt fail and MOT without one would it? (wiper that is!)

19-05-2005, 21:49

Reece's

AndyMK3Astra's

IMO, its a rare but good mod - don't see many "non smooth booted" MK3 astras with it done!

Why? Nova Merits never came without them. They fail for rust, not wipers lol

BEN LEE · 19-05-2005, 22:25

rear wiper is not a testable item on an mot so you can removeit.

removeing mine in the next few days.

AstraBen · 19-05-2005, 22:31

do it! looks a hell of a lot better and cleaner in my opinion.

***GSI-16V*** · 22-05-2005, 21:58

BLUE SMOTHED SWAG LINES WITH 18' RIMS.....

What sideskirts are these on this motor? they look like gm ones blended in correct? i love the colour looks superb, I saw pitures of the car a while ago but i cant seem to get them up, anyone got anymore pitures?

philzee · 22-05-2005, 22:23

defo without (although i couldn't live without mine lol)

the black astra is the dogs danglies IMO

mikeastra · 22-05-2005, 22:41

i had mine smoothed cus i think it looks better, as for not being able to see behind in the winter it can be annoying but i normally looking forward majority of the time
