'G' almost done..

[Keep'emRunning]

Culmination of a few months work! Midnight express tint, 18" wheels, slotted rotors, koni's and KYB's, eibachs, steinmetz cam and 2" exhaust, zender kit, black depo lights.

..finished putting the kit on last weekend, and gave it a glaze and wax today. Came up pretty well considering it's age!

Last thing to add is a rear sway, and lightly tint the tail lights with some clear/transparent black.

Looks awesome!:)

ps: colour code your factory side skirts, door mouldings & door handles and get rid of the mud guards

[tuzinski]

colour code, opelise, clear side indicator.
get rid of the mud guards

i really like your rims tho!!!

[CNBLU]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^what they said and loose the mudflaps.

cars looking pretty good, what eibachs do you have?

[poita]

cant agree more with the guys.
tidy lookin astra though mate :)
keep up the good work

[imay]

Sorry guys, can't share your criticism . . . think it looks absolutely fabulous just as it is!!

Job well done mate.

[Calibrated]

the beforementioned arent necessity, but would add a bit more appeal.

only thing i dont like is the holden badges, otherwise looks great.

im not particularly a chrome fan, but it comes off good

[MAD-16V]

looks quite clean - how much have you lowered it?

[sooty]

Badgeless grille and opel blitz on the back and this thing would look INSANE....
love the front bar...:D

[Shaun]

make sure you bring it along to the NSW Photo Shoot on the 13th of april.

[HappySlapper82]

Looks pretty sweet :)

[RobCDX]

nice work... im not a huge fan of chrome either but it looks very very good

[btm]

very nice mate, i like the kit

[Keep'emRunning]

cheers for the great feedback..yeah i thought about trim colour coding but i kinda like the way the black moldings break up the colour.. other wise it might start looking like a great big grasshopper.

Totally agree about the grille..the holden one is kkkrap. Been hunting for someone in the UK who will ship one over.

Some better plates on the way to replace the chunky yellow ones.. IGR-33N :p

Mad/CN, the springs were 35mm lower, unfortunately it scrapes a little on the rear when pushing it around hairpins (hopefully swaybar might help)

What do you guys recommend.. the whiteline or kmac? Both seem to have different ways of mounting.

Looking hot well done, looks different and unique too, I like that :clap:

Wish my G was almost done :( everytime I think I've finished, the bug starts again to do something more...

[glider]

you're gonna hate me for saying this, but the front bar reminds me of an excel sorta

[Keep'emRunning]

hahah there's a green hyundai next door, maybe it's disease is contagious?

[Dee]

looks good!


i hate the way the back bumper is never low enough to be in line with the side skirts or low enough to match the front bar - that irritates me with all cars tho.

I've always thought exactly the same thing Dee....would be good if it was low enough to cover the spare wheel bay bulge etc. too :)

But on the flip side, the TS does already have a large flat rear end, any deeper and it makes it look really fat and bulbous...

Appologies for going off topic K.E.R. as mentioned yours looks alright :)

that's why i got a rieger bodykit - rear skirt goes ALL the way down :D
downside is u gotta worry about the front AND the back from scrapping!! :eek:

otherwise mate - good to see that your car is coming along nicely.
i'd leave the side strips as it breaks up the green.
but do color-code the side skirts though.

go with whiteline rear swaybars. a number of members here have it installed. i haven't heard much about the kmac version.

[DirtyHarry]

cant say i like the zender kit. too me it looks like its a bit too "round" in some places and not blending in with the rest of the car. not a fan of chrome wheels either.

i have to agree with JR thought, the reiger kit is a much better looking one.
