Mk3 Astra Styling.....

Ok, heres the plan i was gonna buy one of those MCR Body Kits coz they are lovely, however, i have decided not to.

What i'm gonna do now is get 17's, sideskirts, and do somethin to the bumpers.

However, i want something that i can add to my existing standard bumpers.

Can any of you guys show me pictures of stuff available, coz i can't seem to find much, i''m probably not looking in the right place.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers.
Joe.

Erm, Irmscher and Steinmetz do very nice front bumpers, skirts, bumper extensions etc!!

If you have a std front bumper, meshing it is always an idea!!

You got hatchback or saloon??

**MrSteel** · 23-07-2002 15:29

5 door hatchback.

I've seen a nice splitter on CCMotorsport (JMS, i thnk)

but the horror stories that come with that company put me off!!

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 15:34

Ive got an Irmscher front bumper apron! See below!
And only £79 and the rear apron was £69.

**MrSteel** · 23-07-2002 15:45

thats nice, and that just gets fitted to the standard, got any pics of the rear?

Did you get em off the net?

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 15:49

Sorry mate only had the rear done recently so got no pics.

Try www.tuning.co.uk

Thats where I got the rear apron.

**SimonP** · 23-07-2002 15:56

I really like Bruce's car cause he's gona down a different route!!

Irmscher kit really makes the front more deeper. Bruce, what you done to the back? You got that Irmscher rear bumper skin?

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:01

Yep got it to fit by cutting it in half and extending it in the middle by 33mm. It then fitted perfectly. I am fitting the irmscher suspension kit this week -25-30mm drop and 17"s! Then it will be sorted!

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:02

What do you think?

**SimonP** · 23-07-2002 16:08

Mmmmmm, deffinalty very sweet. Like the sound of that!

Bet the car looks
loads lower even though it isn't yet.

Reckon a nice 5 stud conversion and some 17" Irmscher twin spokes would look
nice.

What wheels are you going for then???

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:12

I've got a set of 100+ Vulcans in high power silver and they are f***ing lush!!!

Tried one on and they look so so cool without lowering so when she is lowered they will look ausome! The rear apron really helped to give it that lower look and it kinda finishs off the body kit nicely.

Like you said something different to all the GSI bumpered cars.

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:14

I thought about the Vectra GSI wheels but a five stud conversion would be a little expensive as I would have to change everything!

I will bare that idea in mind though!

**MrSteel** · 23-07-2002 16:17

its nice, i like it too coz its different, i'm lookin to go a different route too,rather than the GSi look (which is nice, before people attack me)

My funds are almost available so, its gonna be soon!!!

**SimonP** · 23-07-2002 16:17

I have all the kit for a 5 stud conversion!! hehe, vertually sold it though.

Not sure what the Vulcans look like. Any piccies???

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:20

They look good here but in the flesh they are fantastic I am so pleased with them and they aren't even on the car yet!

**SimonP** · 23-07-2002 16:24

Think I've seen these. Really deep shine. Kinda anthracitish in some lights. They'll look great on your car, especially with the colour!

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:26

Cheers!

Yep thats the style!

Only saw one set at Billing on a Corsa so hopefully a little bit original, I thought that colour would compliment the colour and hell yeah it does!!!!!

**SimonP** · 23-07-2002 16:31

Yeah, it'll look really really deep all waxed up, tyre gloss etc with foglights
on!

Must say, think the only other set I've seen were on an E36.

So are you gonna wack up some pics next week? Think you really should!

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:35

I gota find somewhere to host the pics first.

I will grab my brothers video camera/digi camera and get some photos. She is getting a complete wash and polish on the Saturday so will try and sort some pics for next week some time. Got anywhere I can put them up?

**SimonP** · 23-07-2002 16:37

If they aren't too big, then host them on the MIG uploader. I forget the address now.

All you gotta do is upload them to that and use the url that it gives you.

**Bruce Laver** · 23-07-2002 16:49

Cheers Simon I will try to get some small is pics and upload them one evening next week!

**SimonP** · 23-07-2002 16:51
