Had a very good week break from uni, got various bits sorted on the car (let's see if anyone picks them out). Gave it a good wash today and took it out for a nice photoshoot, unfortunately there were cars everywhere so I tried to make the best of it:

Nah, I've always had the sedan the whole time, so you're wrong Black AH!

I think only time I've ever taken proper pics of my car, normally I do shoots of other people's cars.

Probably, but there would be a gap there, I will be getting the strips without the indents, like on the turbo and cabby, when I get the car colour coded.

The astra's dropped 30mm all round, it just doesn't sit level, I'd love for a 50/30 drop but I wouldn't want to compromise too much of the ride quality.

Astra's look like this normally, even if lowered equally all around, (appears lower in the rear) purely because the front guard is higher, looking along a horizontal plane, in the body work. You'd have to lower the front more to make it less obvious but then you would have the front down stance on the vehicle.

is that lowered?

looks stock
u need to lower the front another 2inches and the rear 1.5inches

but very neat and simple mods like exaust and badges make it nice
