i love it! lol...is that a cold air feed i see pokin out off the grill? nice flaps lol..i was lookin at them exact wheels on ebay the other day..astra gte ones-powdercoated white.like the numbers in the rear windows...look forward to more pics and seeing it progress..

if ur getting new wheels please consider donating them ones to me..i am a very very poor rally lover in desperate need of some wheels lol..or if u want money i can probz scrape some 2geva if its cheap enough.

well sorry to disapoint he numbers are gone its actually illegal to run with comp numbers on your car when your not in a comp, and the cold air feed was poo and did nothin at all so its gone, im makin my own at the moment (well tryin) wheels wont be for sale either im only intending on running 14 " wheels as the tyres are cheaper, i say cheaper im still looking to pay about £40 quid a tyre for part worn yoko knoblies, ive got a busy few weeks ahead i got a fair bit to do to get it rally ready as im supposed to be doing a course car on a national "b" level road rally in north derbyshire. had a nice surprise today as my sump guard arrived so after a service i can get that bolted on and get my home made floor and tank guards fitted so i can death it on the rough stuff !

im also gonna get rid of all the other crappy stickers off it because they all look pants !

yeah its comin on you need to stick to one thing tho bud if its a rally rep you to get stripped and lose the stereo etc all bolt on stuff and sterios ever do is slow you down ! otherwise lose the silly rear lights and go for a nice tastfull classic look that will turn far more heads, go for the less is more street sleeper look 8)
