Hi. As you should know now I have an astra mk3 2 door (quite rare Razz) in flame red. My aim is to make it a gsi replica but im kind of doing my own thing to it at the moment lol. I bought it as a standard 1.4 merit 6 months ago and since then I have been running it and modifying it on £95 a week... I started off with a set of 15inch alloys in silver which i sprayed in black. I put some red bumpers on to replace the boring black ones, I then tinted my rear lights black (and sprayed the boot strip the same colour) and then tinted my windows black too. I De-Wipered and De-Badged it. I put a twin upswept exhaust on and removed the center silencer Smile Then I bought a debadged grill. I built my boot build with the help from a friend and covered it with fluffy red material and put four red neons on it (not finnished yet need new speakers and amps lol). I put black checquers accross my car with the inspiration from my m8's vxr lol and got the stickers made up at work (put them on myself). I have just fitted central locking to it and a boot popper. I bought a 2 litre astra donor car and put the sri interior and mirrors on my car, ill say no more lol. Anyway enjoy the progress pics:
