I want them wheels
Sounds like ill have to start storing the car in a garage lol.
Vec trims need a bit cutting out, then f/glassing together, skim of filler then some paint. Then just use some trim tape and stick them on.
any pics with this done on another astra?

That looks SOOOO much better now with 17's on 
A picture update just for Alex.
Trip to RC today
RC busy welding.
Which after a while resulted in a cheer. The first of the jammed locking nuts was out, But that caused a problem that the nut was not stuck in the removal tool. So Ronnie welded the nut to his home made trolley and spun it out with the rattle gun.
The other jammed nut put up a bit more of a fight. But Ronnie got it out. And suprisingly didnt swear at it once.
So i paid Ron for his services and the arch liners and headed home and got cracking.
But can only put the front two on because im missing two sprigot rings. So fronts are on and made a start on some little marmite mods.
Lego valve caps
And added something to the boot button.
them wheels are nice man, loving the touch on the boot and dust cap
haha keep up the good work
Ta chaps.
But Alex just in case you read this before i fire a PM out, the 16s are staying for a little while longer. But should i sell first refusal to you.
I have cat 1 alarm with RCL, so its all good. I now have some very brightly coloured brake calipers, some nice and clean archs and gsi arch liners fitted. need to buy some smaller push rivits to finish the job off properly. Then i can sand the last of the filler and primer on the bumper down and get it in some proper primer. Which will have to do after ludlow, not rushing it.
Ill get some pics up when i find a phone lead.
All in good time AndyLove the wheels, car is looking really good mate, needs more power tho
I do prefer the 17's to the 16s. They set it off well IMO.That looks SOOOO much better now with 17's on

Dude those dustcaps / boot sticker is awesome! Just one problem, you cant put your key in! I spose if you have central locking it's okay though

Some poor pics of brakes and arches.
Dont like the calipers. Love the colour, just not the way ive painted them, so ill wire wheel them next chance i get and do them with some proper orange caliper paint.
Also need to get my wheels balanced because i lost a wheel weight today So theres a job for tomorrow after work, then do a few errands then throw a sponge around before heading over to ludow sunday.

Yep its still there. All in good time Dan. When the rear bumper gets sorted it whack the light out and do a bit of filling.

I like the colour too but it always smells like the paint is burning off. And that brake idea was short lived to lol .
After some very long miles the other week ive discovered i have some buckled wheels. So i need some opinions, Ive decided to keep them and have the repaired.
But its not much price difference between getting them straightened than getting them straightened and refrurbished. But do what do we think will look best,
Option 1 .- Refurb as they are Polished edge, with the darker centre
Option 2 - Polished Edge with a silver centre with a very high sparkle.
Open to suggestions too
