Hi everyone, I'm James or Jimmi B either or
Just got my 03 ts astra friday before last, but already i'm having more fun then i did in my vz ute :D
I live on the gold Coast (despite what the plates say!)
it goes in for tinting on Wednesday, then i'll look at derestricting the airbox or a pod.
then get some decent ICE going :D
sorry about the quality its the pic i took on my phone when i was getting the keys.

Tints done, was a bit more then the quote due to them not noticing the factory tint...which was faded to the point of being clear haha

next up angle eyes or head unit

Yeah I got my angel eyes off ebay, cheaper than what those ones are I think. Bought them off an ebay UK site, the seller sold them on the Aus one but for way more than what he was on the UK site so I bought them off the UK site and saved myself a fair bit.

Heres the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VAUXHALL-Opel...item3a5076ab6e (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VAUXHALL-Opel...item3a5076ab6e)

$183 plus $50-$60 P&H Bargain compared to $300 :)

No worries, go the angel eyes first, just makes your car stand out that little bit more and makes it look less ordinary :D Induction kit can wait :P
