Was looking around for a kit for the an Astra H and came across this site...they are from Qld...

http://www.carlights.com.au/catalogue/930109/index.htm

I'm kinda interested at this Kit...

[btm]

[tim_]

[Wraith]

Looks ok......

Check also with CAL.16V (Pat) and see if he has anything :)

[maloo97]

Nice skirts, Good price too.

[btm]

they may flog you for postage though. check that out first

[OPC]

looks cheap... i no like it

[moose_factor]

Delivery for the Kit is $120 to my area NSW they are in QLD and to get it painted before sending it out it cost $750...

So all in all it's about $1965 that ain't fitted yet...

The Kit is from some Euro Company...

http://www.carcept.com/

http://www.instantspoilers.com.au/carcept.html <--- these guys are from South Australia

It looks promising but...

[maloo97]

You can get a talon gtz kit fitted and painted for that.

ewwww....that looks terrible....cos it's sitting like a 4wd (needs to be seriously dropped), and everything looks so tacked on...there's no flow to the lines...just like the HSVi bodykit...

[sooty]

Front end looks very pontiac.....rear end looks DISGUSTING

[maloo97]

Fake Vxr Lookalike lol

[moose_factor]

Yeah I was bout to say that...:eek:

[sooty]

Just noticed...the first and second picture are different cars....look at the wheels lol...they change from being cool...to being terrible...
Also note how the X2-R rear bar is like the PAM tuning bar even in the way it's painted..but it's just...worse?

[moose_factor]

SSV reckon they can Supply, Fit and Paint for $2600 for that kit...


Yeah...I don't mind that either...

[sooty]

[moose_factor]

[sooty]

Sorry to say, this kit is not only ugly, but impractical too !!!

You'll be smashing and leaving the front bar behind you or under the car every time you hit a bump....forget about slightly steep driveways too...and all that bother n trouble for 4k :eek:

Each to their own though, if you like, go for it :)

agree! I dont mind the gold astra with the kit...but would look nice with balck honey comb inserts in the front bumper.

[sooty]

The colour of that gold looks terrible...but reckon you could stick fog lights where the mesh is?
Maybe a darker colour mesh to accent too instead of the matte grey/silver type colour?
It's hard to comment what it will look like in black...totally different i reckon...look forward to seeing it moose :D

Yeah the colour will make some difference...I don't have foggies on my CD Astra...might get them done if possible to this kit depending on how it will look...yeah I want the mesh darker, black too maybe...

OoOoO just had a look at the Lumma GS/R kit or with the GS/R with GT front skirt they look hot...

EXPENSIVE but...from carshine (RIP OFF! :mad: )...we'll see how much it is to ship and stuff here from Europe, then we'll see what happens...:clap:

[poita]

not too sure if he does em anymore, but pm cal.16v
he could get hold of the lumma gear direct

IMHO they are just damn ugly lol.
Especially the eyebrows...just looks....wrong...
But...as we've said lots before...each to their own :D

[moose_factor]

You know what I think I'll just go for the Stock kit (The one Talon Sells) and possibly get Angel Eye Lights from UK...hahaha...

[sooty]

Choose whatever you like man
As long as you like it who cares.
Just think hard about it as it's a lot of money to spend just to get her looking pretty :D
If you want some ideas i posted some other guys' here members threads in your member thread. Shoey85 has the holden kit and AH 18" Turbo wheels so will give you insight into how yours will look.. :)

[sooty]

Just wanna get everyones opinions on a different kit without actually starting a new thread.
It's slightly more subtle than others...just want honest opinions cos i kinda like it :)

[maloo97]

its kinda different. Side skirts are nothing special but i kinda like both front and rear bars.

[sooty]

They are just skirts too, so original bars stay on which means retaining the foggies :D

[maloo97]

yeh true. just have to see if the zorst will hook up or fake it.

[coyotte]

The big question is..........is it fibre glass or plastic ?

[sooty]

which is better? fibreglass i'm guessing...

[maloo97]

most of these kits are fiberglass. Plastic is 100% better though.
It you touch or scrape no chips or cracks.

[USC]

Plastic is better for same reasons as Maloo said. It wont chip or crack and is also stronger.

The front look pretty good...but not too fond of the rear...

[digi]

I found this kit while browsing eBay tonight. It's really subtle - not too extreme. I quite like it, but it's only extensions to the existing front and rear, not replacement. But for only about $600 shipped to Aus, that's not bad.

Where would you go to get something like this painted and fitted in Brisbane? And what kinda price would I be looking at?

Lowering is all you need for an Astra. They look nice as they are.

I quite like this one actually... do you have a link for it?

[digi]

I quite like this one actually... do you have a link for it?

Yep: On eBay here (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=310035886861&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=021) or Direct from manufacturer here (http://www.jdltuning.com/opel_vauxhall/astra_h_astra_mk5/opel_astra_h_hatchback_5dr_vauxhall_astra_mk5_hatc hback_5dr_bodykit.html).

They seem to have cheaper prices and delivery on eBay then they do on their website.

How would I get it installed and painted though? I know it's not a DIY job, because they parts glue on and aren't bolt-on replacements.

[Wraith]

The front look pretty good...but not too fond of the rear...

I'm of the opposite opinion on this one, ie: I like the rear, especially if you add quad tips like that, but don't like the front, side skirts are nice too :)
