Hi All,

Just wanted to see if anyone was selling any silver or black interior trim (vent trim and centre console trim). Wanting some to match the grey/black of the elite door cards I have ideally but failing that I'd like the silver trim to replace the off grey colour of my current trim

Let me know if anyone has any of the above

How to make the Door Catches look Better by Adding Door Lock Covers.

A very Simple and Cheep upgrade that makes the Door Latches look alot Neater.

I just came Across these and i Have Never seen them Before so i Ordered a Set
To see what they were Like and i am Pleased to say they Look Very Good
and they Add a bit of Detail to the Car
They are very Simple to fit and Just Clip into Position and job Done.

In the kit you get 4 Covers for the Door Latch Hooks
and 4 Covers for the Door Stopper Catch and at only £9.95 not that bad at all Price wise.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311262710192?_...EBIDX%3AIT

You can also just buy the Latch set on There own but this will only Have 4 Pieces and they Cost £5.00.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231422450053?_...EBIDX%3AIT

Here is what you get in the Kit.





BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES.













Cheep little upgrade and much better looking
they will also be good dust covers.

  Things i want to upgrade on my car
Posted by: jjb - 19:th-Feb-2015, 22:22:37 - Forum: Introduction Area - Replies (25)

Hello,

I have just registered!

I been looking around the last few weeks at the different ways to upgrade my astra j 2014, i see there are some people on here that have been doing this successfully.

Is there anyone located in the West Sussex area who would be interested in doing the following upgrades?

- head unit to include DAB, Nav possibly rear camera (i have the standard cd400 i believe)

- electronic wing mirror controls

- convert back door windows to electric

James

  Interior Trim Types
Posted by: sheppy1 - 19:th-Feb-2015, 10:05:25 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (114)

Hi All,

Have a double question here about the interior trim level on the Js. So from looking around I have found that there are at least three different trim level colours with regards to the centre console, door trim etc. What I mean by this is the colour of the plastic around the radio and on the door handles. The colours I have found are as follows:

Dull Silver (this is what I have in mine)
Shiny metallic silver
All black

I'm just wondering if there are any more that I'm not aware of though...?

Also while eBaying around I saw a photo of someones car that had a different coloured dashboard! (red coloured). I didn't think this was even an option but i love it!! (photo below). Does anyone know if this is a aftermarket job or if it's something you can choose when buying the car?

Thanks

  recall
Posted by: tucpal - 18:th-Feb-2015, 19:26:13 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (4)

so i have a recall today to remove the battery cover as it may block the cooling fan
and to check the cooling fan is not blocked or obstructed
funny as my car has never had the battery cover fitted but i did get one and fit it myself
so looks like i will remove this just to be on the safe side
i will give them a phone about this as i am not going to the dealers just to have them remove a battery cover
but i also know this is not a new recall and has been around for a while now.
