Cheers for all the comments  :cog:

Its pretty solid to be fair, front passenger wing needs sorting.. but I've got two spares so will make one good wing out of the two. Its had a patch on the sill which i will tidy up. Not too keen on the colour scheme, so that may well change.

They are indeed astra wheels, again I'm not keen on them so they will be changed.

Possible plans (there bound to change, they always do!) -
Hs front bumper & rear spoiler
1/4 rear bumpers
Engine upgrade
Wheels.

the two tone looks great, gotta keep the two tone! the wheels would look fine in the right colour, maybe in the same gold as on the car for that oldschool look!

It was stored in a lads garage in North Wales. Managed to sell the wheels already, So hopefully stick the other set on this week & get saving for a nice set of minilights or superlites  :)

I'd love a turbo! But, insurance is on the dear side for us young ones... Paying £1400 fully comp on a mk4 astra sxi  :-\

Wheels are deffo going Dave, I'll just stick hopefully abit nicer looking set on the car till i get some mini/super lites  :)
