this is dedication for you!

in the pissing rain, i removed 2 of me n@ff sr alloys, and fitted two of my new alloys to see what they looked like, after i opened the door in amazement to the delivery guy as they were sent from clacton on sea yestrday on a 3 day courier and arrived this morning :o

i think it completely changes the look of the car..........

They look brilliant mate, they are the wheels I originally wanted to get when I had my GSi, but I ended up with Anthracite Monza ones.

Looks nice and despite what everyone else says I think the Astra MKII GTE spoiler looks quite nice, but I would say that 'cos I had one on my old 1.6SRT40, the only difference was that I removed the legs, had 6" took out of the middle, had it plastic welded back together and mounted it a bit further back then smoothed it in with the original spoiler, If I can find any pics I'll send 'em to you (That's if my stalker doesn't do it first!!)

Thats what happened lol Then got offered a mint shell with a 2.0 16v turbo at a cheapish price so I broke the car. Shell is now in Guildford with a guy called Andrew Valvona, engine is with Phil G in North Wales and the wheels are with someone off Mig in Scotland :cry:

well done mike they set the car off

why didn't you say you were after rimstock wheels as i used to work there and if im not mistaken they have a warehouse or old stock that they didn't sell so you could have had them a bit cheaper( not 100%) though

if you want to change the caps at any time or if they get nicked like mine did ill show you were they are based and get some more they are not far from me. :wink:

Oh yeah Mike, i think that your spoiler looks very good on your car, it wouldnt suit mine but looks right at home up there!

Oh yeah Mike, i think that your spoiler looks very good on your car, it wouldnt suit mine but looks right at home up there!

to be fair i like the spoiler again so its staying put sorry peeps

i dont think it looks to out of place?

thankyou to all for your nice comments about my car :oops: :) good to think people like it anyway

i think the alloys have made the car a bit more agressive, so suit my bonnet vents and the spoiler now.

anyway

the rear arches are folded back flat, and the fronts are standard. i am going to need a little work on the fronts i think.... hopefully in time for MK wooooooooo

see you there

keep them comments coming good or bad :)

I can do the interior Mike, just that I needed the Alloys and couldn't sell them when your were asking for them :roll:

Give me a shout what you want doing with the interior, if you wait till the weekend I'll have re-trimmed Chris T's interior, so you can see what it looks like.

Send me a Pm telling me what you want doing, I can get fabric for you as well. Ideally I'll need to talk to you in person about it to explain.

Alloys look sweet, good choice.

As for the spoiler...its your car. If you like it keep it. Its all about being individual anyhow.

looking sweet Mike 8)
Thats a big change for ya :!:

mikeoxford
24-04-03, 11:59 PM
cheers for all your comments brian etc.

they really have changed the appearance of car all together i think.

for the better of course ;)

the tiny breaks look PUNY though, cant wait till pay day when the cross drilled and grooved disks 2ltr stylee can be slapped on.

i will be running my sr 3 spokers with wheel spacers some times as well as these.

purely because of birmingham being a TWOCER sh!t hole, working in safeways, having to leave it open in the car park. theyll be on opermanent in say a month or so (quitting safeways for a pukka job before uni in oct), for now there shows and special occasions :lol: 8)

Very nice mate. Only criticism is that even though the centers are anodised red, the colour doesn't match the car. But hey.

Oh, and even the rear spoiler looks pretty good from that angle.

nova---chris
25-04-03, 06:31 AM
Agreed get the centres toned down a bit
But looking very smart. much better than the normal wheels!!!!!!
