VXOC Astra-J/GTC

Thought I'd do one..... It's not going to be quite on the same level as some of the other cars on here but to me, buying and hanging a little tree air freshener is an upgrade......


So I bought an Astra 1.6 SRI



First thing I wanted to do was change the alloys so I bought the diamond cut ones you see on GTC's, BiTurbos and Zafira Tourers.



They were quite badly curbed as you can see





So had to get them refurbed...... Which cost an arm and a leg







They'd done a really good job in the end so was worth the cost and look a lot better than the 17" ones I had on





Next thing was changing the centre dash trim. Mine had a slight scratch on it so I wanted to change it but ended up buying the wrong trim. Mine is metallic silver and I'd bought the dull silver one.



Then I found a darker coloured trim wish I liked and stuck with that.



Ended up with quite a few. Ha.



I'm still after the gloss black one though.....

Next was one of the most complicated of all car upgrades.……number plates. Had to think long and hard about doing this on my own, sleepless nights and everything.

Mine were a bit tatty and the front plate sticked out at the ends due to it being screwed in





So decided to stick the on..... Revolutionary I know.



They no longer stuck out at the ends



Then I bough the VXR pedals



Which look loads better



See I'm not lying



Next was smoked repeaters



And it now looks like this

I've run the wind deflectors by the misses and she said.....no. Ha.

Tints could be an option though.
