Seats look good. IMO i wouldnt smooth them in. If you change your mind at a later date, it will be a ball ache to change them. But at the end of the day it is your car!
ive been loking at this all night, great car by the way jim, however i think the lines left by not blending the skirts in suits the straight/squre lines of the nova! jims is really smooth and rounded off so blending his skirts in was a good moveQuote:

I think the skirts would look alot better smoothed in pal (and thats not just because mine are) lol Just makes it look like they have been fitted better imo.
First off really nice car mate, all good thing's being done to it, looks lovely.
Now IF i was you I would not blend the skirts in, as Jim found out they were a bitch to get off when he wanted to rebuild his car,and made more work for him in the long run.
If it was me I would go for GSi skirt's sprayed Gray, as the plastic fades etc.
As for the spoiler, I'm not sure, just looks strange poking into the air! lol
At the end of the day mate it's your car, but it help to get other opinions.
Keep up the good work.
Scott

Excitng but today i sourced a box to wrap my dash up

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...1401/001-3.jpg

jim sold that bumper to Bola, and in his thread jim did say astra Mk4, although it does apper to be a MK5 jobbie
Well i was sure that was NOT mk4 as my mate had one on his car, and I'm sure Keith put a mk5 one his old car that was the same, Jim's finger slipped lol

todays little jobs
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...ie1401/289.jpg
made a bracket for the boot popper which im having wired into the dash and my Toad alarm wednesday
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...ie1401/291.jpg
making room for the dash switch
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...ie1401/292.jpg
The dash switch for my boot pop, with a picture of an open boot, how clichelol
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...ie1401/290.jpg
made these brackets up aswell, for a simple mod but will be very effective! not telling you what it is yet
Undecided about the following
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...ie1401/294.jpg
Bought these door pods of Graeme Dixon, today i filed the holes out more to make my speakers fit better, but im undecided wether to fit em or not?
Its too much hassle to combine them with my door pockets, but i cant decide if i want door pockets or sacrifice them for the door pods?????
ive got decent dash speaker and will be having a pair of 6x9's in the false floor so do i really need these?
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...R-269LEBIG.jpgPIAA DRL LED LIGHTS
Also might fit a pair of these LED DRL (day running lights) in my Ibiza splitter but im worried they'll last 10 minutes with the splitter catching all the speed humps????????? if i do they come on with my sidelights but i will put a override switch in incase i dont want them turned on
If you want some handles i have some mk2 grey ones you can butcher and have flocked like you said
