FamousStarsAndLuke - Astra Sporthatch.

Hii there,

My names Luke, im 17, nearly 18, and drive a Vauxhall Astra Sporthatch SXI 1.6 - Black 05 plate

When i bought it the first thing i thought was that it was just too high. like really really. so that started me off modifying. Thought about going for the race look, but i have rarely seen these done cleaned/euro/slammed etc. so thought fxck it, might aswell give it a shot!

Over the past few weeks/months, ive been collecting parts which are all being fitted at the bodyshop as i type this now (30th april 2010) and should be ready later on today!

being fitted are
- Badgeless Grill
- 45mm springs
- VXR rear bumper
- Vxr rear exhaust

im now just trying to save up for some nice wheels. Probably just going to get the bbs lm reps off ebay as they are pretty cheap and look awesome! i was thinking about wire wheels, but someone done a photoshop for me and everyones reaction was that it looked shit :\ ill post it in a second and then give me your opinion

Ill try upload a few pictures now

Sweet

Oh and this was my first attempt at moddifying a car:




Astra




Astra on wires


Astra on BBS

Plans sound good mate! This could look awesome Euro'd! Loving the rally slag 106 too!

Most people think the shape of them wont suit euro, but feck it, ima give it my best shot!

Any ideas or opinions on wheels?

Not a fan of the wires, the BBS's could look good! Personally I think Borbet A's would look awesome but they've been a bit over done! I know what could look awesome though, Jamie's white Porsche twists which he is selling as seen here... Linky

Could look really good!

Seen your car on 106 owners dude it's sick goodto see your goin euro/cleaned welcome along dude

Sorry but slammed, those wire wheels would look awesome imo

AlexM, you arew the first person to say you like the wires!

Thankyou !

Its all about being different in a good way man, and personally i think its a good different
Plus its your car, do what u like to it

Morning mate

Cleaned look will look with the astra's. Seen a few around the place, most recently jordan's so it can work

Hopefully!

whos this 'jordan'?

im looking to do things that are reversable so when i come to sell it i can put it standard.

but i really want to remove the side bump strips!!

Dooo it. Welcome to the forum dude. Plans sound good and the 106 was a minter!

I'd look into some Porsche wheels like maitland has on his golf they look sick

Get the wires mate, they'll look awesome, or some bbs ch's would look mint imo, but them wires

both cars are nice the BBS look better on the Astra

Sorry for the piss poor Blackberry quality photos.

ill get some decent photos when its not raining outside and i can clean it!

VXR Bumper & exhaust


Low-riderrr 45mm


Grillz


Rearrrrr


When i get a chance to clean it im going to debadge the back and the sxi badges on the sides.

Things to do next are colour the roof and mirror caps, probably just going to do white, unless anyone has any other opinions?

CAMO ROOF!!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat Dimma 106 yo! Your now fully in the family and i havent even bothered to look on the second page, you sir are a legend
Welcome along to the site buddy, get yourself a progress thread up if you havent already

Ohhh yess, dimma!

cost a fortune to build though!

had a vts engine, done by pug1off.

and i only ever drove it once

Why'd you get rid of it?

insurance && wanted a better car tbh.

Faur call on that tbh! Still looked a treat though
