Black 1.4T Astra J - GarethMyers14 - 18:th-Apr-2017

So I've started to make a progress file on my very much loved Astra. It's only got 14,500 on the clock, so a nice low mileage one.

I started off by changing the plates over to my own personalised one's

Managed to change the interior bulbs over to LED too, need to do the rear.

Can easily tell the difference, and much better for seeing things in the night.

I've ordered a few parts over the bank holiday, just waiting for them to arrive.

- Heko wind deflectors
- H7 Pure white bulbs
- Smoked side repeaters
- Astra J forum sticker
- LED number plate bulbs

Mods I'm wanting to get:

Thinking of either getting a full induction kit, or just upgrading the air box panel filter
LED fog lights ( unsure what bulbs they are )
Small stubbed aerial

Below are some photo's I've quickly snapped up. I've got myself booked in for a detail session next week, so I'm hoping she's going to have a nice shine to her.

Where did you pick them up from mate? The resistor looks smaller than the usual ones I've seen on eBay. Any warnings?

Managed to change my main beam bulbs over today ( whilst dropping a screw down the back of the light ) Absoutly wounded ? Here's a picture of the new bulbs and my LED number plate bulbs

Smoked side repeaters applied, along with a good clean and a cheeky polish ?
