    Default Mattman's 1.5TD

    Most of you know this car from the previous owner but I took some new pictures once I got it home.













    No major plans at the moment am open to subtle suggestions (I'm too old for boyracer mods and huge bodykits etc)

    As it stands just now:

    Spax RSX Coilovers
    -80mm custom rear springs
    Astra 2.0L front brakes
    Arches folded
    Gsi bumpers
    Compomotive MO’s refurbed in black
    Gsi interior
    Astra Mudflaps
    Vauxhall mats
    Scorpian Alarm system

    Future Plans:

    Exhaust
    HIDs
    Window tints (not too dark tho)
    Possibly tune the engine
    I'm sure I will think of loads more over the winter

    Nice car!

    Yep deffo a free flowing exhaust (bin the cat if it has one), up the boost/fuel. Perhaps a 1.7 in the future, and a subtle fmic.

    Sorry, front mount intercooler.
    A reckon a nice subtle alloy one would look good, and aid in keeping those charge air temps down.

    Lovely example. I had a 1.5TD in silk violet. They go so well for what they are even when std.

    PM me if you want an intercooler. I kept back a BMW one for mine but never fitted it.
