Ok another little update, set about fitting the GSI headlights this morning, so bumper off then hatch back lights off, GSI lights on bumper back on job done.
Look so much better, well happy with them
. So with that done then set about checking the fuse to see why my "parking lights" weren't working or to me and you my drivers side lights...found the culprit:
Then popped up to see my mate Sparky's LED and got some 8k HID's to finally get my HID's working so got to glue the bulbs on to the holders and then fit them:
So will put a pic up and update once fitted p the car
. Comments welcome

Ok started prepping a spare centre console I picked up, first I sanded down with a black and decker mouse with some grit paper:
Got bore so that after hour and a Half so gave up for the day.
So popped to a meet last night held by the South Wales Astra Coupe Owners page on Facebook so here's a few pics,
Befor:
Whiles there;
So on to today today's antics... Decided I well and truly hate the Lexus light after last nights coupe and hatch meet.
1st coat:
Then another coat and two laquer coats and back on the car:
Bye bye smoked Lexus lights
Also set about finishing centre console. So flatted back with 1500 wet dry and then 2000 wet dry. Then wiped with turps to remove the grease and dust. Then added a three coats of primer:
Then applied three coats of glacier white paint (same as my wheels) pics are of two coats ran out of decent light so will update tomorrow:
Not bad I personally think, so will get up in the morning and add another coat and then clear coat them and get them on
Comments welcome.

Cheers andy, I was unsure on white was going to go yellow but decided it against it and go glacier white to match the wheels
.
Tomorrow the boot lid and arches are being done.

This thread has brought out my love for Astra's in this shape. Even thinking about getting a Bertone as my next car if I can find the 1.6 version cheap enough. Love it mate
