What do you all think then ??

[lee coley]

need a good flat and polish the painter wants shoooting for leaving it like that!

[vaughanmc]

looks kool with Astra Cesaro wheels :)

the paint looks like it was done with a can...

[Driver]

paint is very ...... wel ****e lol

its going back satin red when i got cash

around engien bay is still red as is boot etc

[vaughanmc]

so was it painted with a can then?

[lee coley]

no it hasnt been painted with a can,just cheap paint that hasnt been buffed

[Driver]

unsure it was that black when i bought it

looks very tacky though

undecided on having it redone black properly including full interior under carpets etc

or go back satin red

[lee coley]

red

[Lee]

I like it bar the wheels, they just dont look right to me for some reason.

Cesareos me thinks if you want a pointer. Or Softstars.

[Driver]

wheels are going dont worry bout that they were on the car when it came to me

im thinking satin red with (plastic) black bumpers and side skirts (all GSi), SRi spolier in satin red and cavvy slabs like yozas (ford polaris grey with polished lip)

[lee coley]

thats it copy me!

[Driver]

can ya blame me they looks amazing, may even employ you do spray/polish them if your interested

[lee coley]

yes just let us no and ill fit them in,got a few jobs to be on with over next few months ill fit them in,im sure!

[Driver]

no worries i have to pay r lass off get this zorst off "nova-SRish" if hes still got it ???

then find some cavvy slabs lol

[lee coley]

theres a bloke in rotherham that sells alloy wheels from his house,hes got allsorts all proper vauxhall ford etc

[Driver]

cool any contact details ???

[lee coley]

i will have tmora,ill get his number of my mate

[Driver]

cheers bud

[lee coley]

empty your pm box

[Driver]

oops done

[lee coley]

rarther than buy a gsi rear bumper why not keep the 1 youve got and ill weld it up?

[Driver]

because i want the black rough plastic like standard bumpers are, easyer to clean with a tin of interior cleaner.

besides GSi rear bumper is pretty much same as a poverty spec one so can pick them up cheap enough

[Driver]

40mm springs on the front will post pics when they setlle as it look nearlty standard atm

big thatnks to yoza for
1. supplying the springs
2. fitting them this morning

[lee coley]
