  Fitting VXR bumpers?
Posted by: Morgan - 14:th-Oct-2015, 19:34:28 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

I'm considering, budget depending on fitting VXR bumpers to my 2.0 CDTI. I've got a couple of questions if someone wouldn't mind. I've tried searching but have found no conclusive answers.

Is the front bumper a straight swap? Also are there holes by the fog lights on the VXR bumper, seen some on ebay with holes and wondered if they were VXR bumpers or biturbo or something? 

Is it possible to swap the rear bumper? Would I need a new exhaust? Also any further comments or tips?

Any help would be greatly appreciated 

Thanks,
Morgan

So on Tuesday my wife wrote the little pug off.







Spent the day arguing with insurance about a courtesy car (which they will not provide as the car is total loss and Nat caused the accident).
The wife later went to doc's due to bad neck pain who said she had whiplash, insurance won't allow her to claim as "they can't claim the cost back from anybody".

Spent the rest of the day looking at cars as she needed one by today for work, We found a little ford fiesta 1.6TDCI












Plans so far for this car is. 

Double din head unit

Rear elec windows

Heated seats (leather if possible).

front and rear parking sensors (factory fitted).

Hello my name is Jeroen, I live in Belgium and I drive a Astra J 1.7CDTI.
This is my first car and I've had it since october 2012.
I have been doing some modifications since I first got it  
I will be posting an overview of what I've done so far when I have collected all the pictures.


  Tyre size
Posted by: Jj0063 - 7:th-Oct-2015, 14:02:29 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (10)

Hi guys

I've got my 19" wheels fitted to my car now but need some new tyres ASAP.

They currently have 255/35/19 fitted but everywhere I've looked online says that they should have 235/35/19 on them.

Anyone able to confirm what tyres I should have?

Cheers
Jordan

Hello, I'm 19, and an Auto Engineering student in Swansea. I've had my Astra GTC 2.0 CDTI for almost a month now, and really loving it! It's my second car, first was my much loved Grande Punto, awful reliability, 77bhp, but I loved it and spent many saturdays detailing it. Wanted something with a bit more punch for my second year driving, so after looking at a few Corsa VXR's and E92 Bimmers, settled on the GTC. I've got a few plans in my head, would love to go for a VXR lookalike, but want to concentrate on buying and setting up my own go kart first. So far I've debadged, led number plate lights and drls, pressed plates, Irmscher plate surrounds and carbon wrapped my front grill. Will get some pics up when I can. Nice to be here and hope to meet up with some of you in the future!

  Break Pads and Discs
Posted by: sheppy1 - 5:th-Oct-2015, 14:13:05 - Forum: Servicing - Replies (10)

Hi Guys [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

So I need some new rear break pads and discs and vauxhall have quoted me £262.20 for them. Seems a little steep so thought I'd look around myself.

Anyone either know which brand they use or which good brand I should be using if I'm looking to buy them myself and have them fitted?

Thanks

  Fog Light Surrounds

Hey all

I was going to change the bumper to a VXLINE one but it's too much hassle for me so instead I'll go back to upgrading it to be elite spec lol.

Anyway, anyone either have or know where I can get the fog light surrounds?

Cheers
