Hello, I am on the forum from one year now, and a lot of topic helped me, I'm french, so sorry for my english..
I bought my Astra 1.7 cdti one year ago, i will show you the progress until now

This is the car when i bought it :

I decided to paint the rims in black :

and change the rear lights and plate lights:

I changed the headlight , thank to the topic "How to" !

i bought 19 inches rims :

and painted in black:

and i installed a roof spoiler :

and paint the front grill :

this is a picture when i glued the spoiler :

and then i painted the calipers with the foliatec kit :

The result :

I have -40mm eibach springs and buy a new "radio" but i didn't install them yet

I like the look of the vertical stereo but don’t know anyone who has had one yet?
As for the chrome trim, I vinyl wrapped mine in gloss black

I like the looks of the system, fits very well, but I can't get over the fact that the OS has this very outdated design.

**Apr95** · 29:th-Mar-2018, 16:47:50

What's the system like to use and does the steering wheel controls still work?
