looks really nice that mate. very surprised how this has turned out from when i last saw it. well done!

will look a lot better when you put my bonnet on it, glad youre getting rid of that vent Lol.

[Leeboo]

I love that, surprisingly! What I mean is I never thought SR wheels would look good painted black, but they do on this.

If I'm honest i don't like the smooth boot though.

Dude if your after some window surrounds i have a full set for sale, front and rears (in sale thread, in my sig) also i am looking to sell/swap my speedlines.

Scott

[thedjse]

TBH mate i have nothing to part ex on your speedlines, and tbh i dont like the window surrounds

[Novaboyleon]

all you need is a mk1 wraparound rear spoiler i think! the rest is cool and maybe paint fromt lower lip on the bumper black to match the rear

[Jim Mcrae]

Nice pal, what splitter have you got on the front bumper?


Looks like an astra mk4 splitter to me. Wrap around spoiler would be nice, keeping it Mk1. Still looks amazing, nice car bud.

[thedjse]

Cheers for the comments guys it is a mk4 astra splitter

[Nobby]

[Stanley]

Looks really good mate.

I know a few have mentioned the tailgate, but what if you relocate the reg plate.

I did this with mine...(i know yours is a GTE rear bumper but i cant see it being far more difficult to do)

Dont know if it would suite my car tho mate??!!!??? :confused: :confused:

[L33 LEG]

no it wont be as nice as the gte rear, but itl solve the problem of your boot. if i was you i would of kept a standard boot on.

still think you should spray the skirts black aswell :)

[dave.gsi]

i like that, top work :thumb:

needs better wheels though.....black rally wheels maybe?

Haha cheers mate

[L33 LEG]

the bumper was only an idea, and for a tenner or whatever he was asking was worth telling you about it.

somebody should PS them black, i reckon itl look a lot better! other than though, its looking REALLY nice.

[Benn]

Can i ask, why smooth the boot then stick the plate to it?

[stupot89]

[Benn]

Erm... Was asking the owner.

[Steve]

New crossmember isnt hard to do?? and a bit of rust in the boot, no biggy, its only a bit of welding!

[thedjse]

Cross memeber was the start mate arches boot floor gone and floor pan going

Smooth boot with reg mate cause i can lol

[L33 LEG]

[Benn]

Smooth boot with reg mate cause i can lol

Yeah but doesn't it make the smoothing point less?

[thedjse]

Yeah but doesn't it make the smoothing point less?

It was gonna be relocated but due it dieing and numerous mates getting fined for square regs it stayed on the boot lol
