VXOC Astra-J/GTC

New update i Have got hold of some genuine GM
mudflaps for the insignia and with a brake in the weather
i have just got around To fitting them today so hopefully they will do there Job
And keep the dirt off the sides of the car
I think they make a decent little upgrade very happy.

I HAVE JUST DONE THE NAV600 900 UPDATE on my the navi 600.

I have just done the Navi 600/900 Update
To get the 3D Heads up Display Maps Option on the Navi 600
And also the Speed Camera POI announcements Working
Now the Car tells me when i am Going to Approach a Speed Camera
Unlike the Navi 600 Speed Camera Update i did Earlier
This Navi 600 900 Update Looks much Better Now
And i am Made up With the 3D MAPS.

THE HOW TO IS HERE BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK READ CAREFULLY.

I Have Now Done The Hack Update For the Theme Color Change on the NAVI 600/900
Update Hack i did the Other Day.

I am Totally over the Moon with this One it is Perfectly Done.  
I now have a Blue Day Theme Mode
And a Red Night Theme Mode
Even the blue theme looks better as it is now not so bright and a different shade of blue
And it also has lots of Revised Icons and symbols
Even the Sat Nav Display now has Stars in the 3d Background in night mode.
This is so much Better than the White and Blue that the Navi 600 Comes with as Standard
I Give all Credit to DanRaz as this is all his Hard Work Thank You.

..........The NEW Blue Theme For Day Mode............... 















.......The NEW Red Theme For Night Mode..................

















All Credit Goes to DanRz from France on the Astra GTC Forum as This is all his Hard Work.

I will give a bit more info in the how to section in the nav600 900 update thread later on at some point.

So I Now Have 3D Heads Up Maps.
Speed Camera Warnings and POI Alerts.
Color Theme Change Night and Day Modes To Blue and Red.
Can it Get any Better Very Happy and Well Worth the Effort To Do.

I have Just got some alloy door pins
and i also gave the EGR valve on the insignia 2.0 cdti a really good clean at long last
it was not all that bad but clean is better than dirty
probably about the right time to get it done at 27.000
i just have got to keep on top of it now every 20.000 or so
the car feels good for it that's for sure and it is running perfectly fine.

I will Get around to doing a how to on the EGR for the 2.0 cdti very soon.

......DOOR PINS......






.....DIRTY EGR AND PIPE....







.....CLEAN EGR AND PIPE....

I have just got some new insignia VXR indicator surrounds
there aftermarket and made with a 3D printer
and they have a black carbon effect all over i think they look good
and they are just what I was looking for as i did not want the original chrome ones.

I decided the rear end of the Insignia was looking a little naked
since i debadged it so i have just got a VXD badge
and i also added a chrome strip to the rear diffuser under skirt trim
just to make it look a little different. 








I also got a DA polisher clay bar kit and compound polish wax etc
so i gave the car a real good detail
the weather has not stopped raining since i did it so the results will have to wait Ha ha
but believe me the car is gleaming now and protected for the rest of the winter.

First Little Upgrade For 2016..

I found some black sun visors on ebay before christmas and a set of black switch buttons
for the front and rear headliner light consoles
it really makes the switches stand out so much better
and the black visors look much better from the front when they are down
as they blend in better than the white ones did
i think the black looks much better Now.
