lookin good Phil, will look 100times better once its de-chav'd and rims painted anthracite or summit
Small update...
Getting GSi rear lights this weekend coming (Cheers Kev!) and also sorting my Indicator/Hazard light switch problem (Cheers namkeeps!).
Next will be a Vaux steering wheel, and door cards (in talks with Darren at the moment!)

Ok, got no PC at the moment so borrowing a mates for the updates...
- Drums & Callipers done Black
- Speakers replaced (front and rear)
- Airbox de-restricted
- Sidestrips removed on sides (but bad paint on 1 side so replacing with plain black ones)
- Front and rear red pin-stripes removed
- Rear wiper removed
- Rear lights de-tango'd
It's going in the bodyshop this or next week to get a crack in the sideskirts repaired and resprayed, and the wheels painted (i cant be ****d to DIY). Then its having new rear tyres, and ann Astra MK4 front splitter fitted.
Steering wheel i'm looking to replace at the moment, so it's all go.
Catch you all soon,
Phil.

did you get those bits phil i posted?
It was fintly since i bought it. Covered in muddy water stains and grease, So i made use of firstly my Gunk Engine Degreaser, then AG Engine & Machine Cleaner, the AG stuff is awesome, does a proper job.
Started by putting the Gunk straight on, then the AG, followed by a Jet Wash (karcher 160bar jobbie).
Started the engine to make sure all was ok, then put WD40 on all the connections, followed by a dressing (AG Instant Tyre Dressing).
These are the results...
And heres a shot of the MFD i changed today (old one had ASTRA stuck on it by the looks of it, and was also off an early model so now i'll be able to make use of the Outside Temp when i get the sensor.)
And 2 shots fron the front and rear of my shortened plates...
Finally, a shot of the now black Drums...

TBh i prefer the way the drums perform over the disks. Disks look prettier, but the drums seem to be more effective.
Well, the 17s didnt stay up for sale for long!
jcs came round today to have a look at them and if he liked them do a swap for his 15s. He also got himself a nice set of wind deflectors
Lucky for me they were opel badged up, so they suit the car, look a bit odd going from 17s to 15s, but the car is better off for it, improved acceleration and handling, seems to be more repsonsive when braking too!

I have also had a full Sportex exhaust system fitted (4" tailpipe - same as previous).
I have also fitted a new steering wheel, although its not clicking the indicators off, or got a horn, so i'm getting a plain old Airbag one.
Along with this, the seats are going in place of some Leather ones, which means i get to keep my blue doorcards.
Still lots to do, i've still got to fix the passenger window (replace the opening mechanism), put the new splitter on the rear, get a splitter for the front, change the rear lights for standard ones, get a standfard handbrake sleeve, get and fit mudflaps, new sidestrips and OEM floor mats.
Holiday is 1 week away as well, so expect to see updates toward the end of June now..!
