Hi peeps

I'm Tim. Just cruisin round here, checkin out the fellow Astra drivers! I drive an AH CD 5 door, stock atm but trying to find the right rims for it as we speak. A difficult task!

Welcome mate. Yeh it's a massive decission when it comes to alloys!

[tim_]

thanks

i also have to decide whether I go wheels first, or a sunroof, or the uber expense of going body coloured side mouldings.

[MatsHolden]

Go the rims, then colour coding and then the sun roof.

[tim_]

colour coding's such a pain though, gotta go buy new mouldings from the CDX, then have them painted. i had they mouldings of my 02 sri painted, and they never looked right to me.

[MatsHolden]

Fair enough. Can really finish a car off though, like HOTT4U's Astra below...

[tim_]

Yeah this be my old one (Excused the crashness of it, it's really the only pic i've got!!)



It's also difficult to find a paint match for it, as I have looked, and none of the auto stores have t he right code!

[EL BURITO]

thats a depressing pic, hello thou

[tim_]

You think it's depressing for you! That car was the love of my life! and hey

colour matching is easy, you need the code from the tag under the bonnet.
You could also get the paint from your local Holden spare parts, they'll look up the code from the original delivery documents.


If you look by the name, I found it doesnt work (as there are about 1/2 dozen sapphire blacks from Opel)
