Ad, as i also said mate you should be able to free them off with wd soaking etc, and i ALSO looked at your side strips on Saturday and said oh yours are clipped on! lol deff'o..
Glad your back into it, told you you would be..

So they are deffo clipped Scott, yeah you had a good look at them but dont think you reached a decision???? Or did you? lol
Good to hear you have the bug again mate.
Plans for the next phase sound good, leave the bump strips on IMO, you'll never remove the rivets without making the panel look wavey (I made that mistake on my mk1)
If i leave them though they arent going to match the bumpers, colour wise
Unless i attempt to paint them
Attempt then... Seriously I wouldnt remove the rivets.
smooth them and paint them gloss if you're gonna get artistic with it, bit different lol
100% they are clipped on and not stuck on, you could un clip them and paint them same as bumpers though, so thats a bonus IMO.
Cool, hopefully i can spray them to match the bumpers then.
Small update today, ripped the rear coilovers off, left them soak for a few hours in oil, but theres no chance they are moving. The platform now has a big groove in it where ive hammered fcuk out of it lol
So its new spring time, but unsure whether get some short coilover springs, or just get some 90mil "normal" springs and use my bare coilovers as dampers... That will give me more clearance and is less likely to bottom the damper out.
For reference, this is the rear end with 60mil springs fitted, IMO it drops my rear end about 30mil due to the weight, or lack of lol

So if i got with a normal spring setup i will need 80/90mil springs.
Also ripped the shifter out the astra, as you can see its kinked near the box end, useable for an internal shifter setup?
