**AdrianH** · 02-07-2002 12:48

IMHO I think you got the red right at just the right places for your interior. Nice!

**C9SRi** · 02-07-2002 14:04

what size wheels and is it lowered?

**DaveB** · 02-07-2002 15:19

Get some colour coded door handles, it will tidy the sides up.
NOt too sure about those red stickers in the corner of the windscreen?

really dont like the badges high up on the boot like that, id just take them off.

**Jhonno** · 02-07-2002 21:46

Looks tidy.

Suggestions?

Remove towbar, take red paint off rear wiper. Looks wrong. GSi rear lights. Take off the rear badges. Steinmetz front grill. Take red sticker off airbag. Irmscher side skirts, front and rear Irmscher bumper aprons.

35% tint side windows and 25% rear window.

Not a fan of the mirrors, I'd say get some phase 2's like Olly's but you seem to like them as they are.

Lower it 30mm. Fit some rear disks and some 16v front calipers/disks. Oval Power flow back box.

Maybe get an Astra Sport interior? Interior red bits look cool.

OllyHewitt · 03-07-2002 15:51

well you did ask i suppose!

**Blippi** · 03-07-2002 21:48

Thats wat i wanna hear Olly m8 doesnt mean i wanna do it all but its nice 2 hear wat ppl think

been thinkin bout tintin the windows but my m8's say no

so its glad 2 see some1 agree's

rear wiper was just an idea that didnt work lmao so i'll bee scrapin the paint off when i get a chance

was thinkin bout tintin the rear lights just red but not sure yet

**Blippi** · 03-07-2002 21:50

Also i got an oval backbox just waitin 4 me 2 get my lazy ar$e 2 fit

**Mr_PandaPaws** · 03-07-2002 23:42

Blippi: Nice example of a 'different' astra!! Here's my input:

1) I like the red bits on the interior, not as much as I've done but I like yours a lot....big thumbs up!!

2) What's happening with the fog holes?? If you want fogs, try being a bit different and sticking round one's in!?!?!

3) Paint on rear wiper has gotta go...............

4) I think tinting the lights red would go down really well!!

And Lastly

5) PLEASE DON'T GO DOWN THE PATH OF DOING A GSI REPLICA!!

Overall, nice one mate!!

**Blippi** · 04-07-2002 01:49

thx m8

in answer

2) Was plannin 2 relocate fogs and replace with circular 1's and mesh the hole's

3) I know its just waitin 4 me 2 get round 2 it

and 5) is exactly wat i'm settin out NOT 2 do lmao

OllyHewitt · 04-07-2002 11:15

at Mr Paws... what wrong with it? LOL

**Mr_PandaPaws** · 05-07-2002 09:02

Before I start another MIG-WAR I'll explain my comment!!

I like GSi's, I like Astra's to look like GSi's..........but, there are a large number of replicas out there...most are really nice, and some are very poor!! All I was suggesting to Blippi is that he go for something different, he's got a good base to work on and with time, effort and blood, sweat 'n' guts......I'm sure there's the potential for something special there!!

**DaveB** · 05-07-2002 09:05

ok. fair enough.

But i didnt set out to make a GSI lookalike. i set out to make my car look nice, which IMO I have done.
The fact that the bumpers and things that I bought were GSI doesnt matter, the fact is they were the only bumpers that I liked so thats what I got.

Anyway, the real deal is coming soon enough so it wont matter

OllyHewitt · 05-07-2002 09:22

and in my case... its like this

when i got the car and got into car modding etc... i DIDNT want to go down the GSI Relpica route, simply because i didnt want to put all my effort and money into a car, just to make it look like someone elses...

but in position... all these parts have come up dead cheap, too cheap infact to refuse - therefore... ive ended up with a GSI Replica... which i sort of dont mind now because it probably looks better than how i could have done it...

does anyone understand that? i dont think i do!

**DaveB** · 05-07-2002 10:10

olly. i disagree.

there are lookalikes and replicas

yours is a lookalike

a replica means everything is GSi, which yours isnt.

OllyHewitt · 05-07-2002 10:32

fecking hell dave... whassup wit u!!!

ok people... for all of you that i mis-lead and lied to over that last comment, i sincerely apoligise for any inconvenience caused and the dis-stress that i put Dave through...

for the curtisy* of Dave - i now have a GSi Lookalike

- Better!?

*subject to terms and conditions - spelling may be wrong!
