I'm quite new to the forum but thought id join you all in posting some progress pictures and details.

I bought my 2013 1.4 Astra GTC Sri in June 2020 (as a first car birthday gift for myself )

Here she is:


  IMG_0487.JPG (Size: 469.02 KB / Downloads: 7)

The previous owner had added the black alloys and changed the wing mirrors to have black covers.
(Which if they hadn't I certainly would have done as it makes the car look soooo much better.)

I then went onto change the headlights & DTR light from the stock ones to bright white ones.


  IMG_0486.jpeg (Size: 365.62 KB / Downloads: 8)

All the interior lights were changed to a 'whiter' colour.
Along with the boot light, side indicator lights, number plate light and vanity mirror.

I upgraded from the OEM radio as shown (not my exact one but just for reference):


  vauxhall-astra-hatchback-c1885acdd0d3.jpg (Size: 166.73 KB / Downloads: 8)

To this aftermarket unit which had wired & wireless Carplay built-in. (android auto too if that's your thing).

This is my 2011 Astra 2.0 CDTI SRI in Waterworld Blue.

I have had my car since 2016 and plan on keeping it until it dies really.

I have only really recently started doing some mods to it but have always serviced it myself.

It is 2013 EXCLUSIV 1.7cdti with AFL.

There was an issue with the AFL lights doing a constant start up which was resolved with a new headlight unit.

The Mrs wanted me to give it the full VXOCElectrabizz treatment.

So I started with an LED conversion & LED interior bulb upgrades along with adding footwell lighting.























Next was to remove the CD400+ and retrofit a Navi950 DAB+ & Rear camera.



























Next was to install some better D3S bulbs when swapping the headlight out.





















One of the parking sensors needed repainted as the paint had come off along with the primer.









I also fitted a DPF warning LED so the Mrs will be quickly alerted if the car is doing a regen.

3/DPF Regen Light.                     fitted a red LED to the drivers door will find out how well it works later.]]>

it still didn’t feel right so I got Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs, 19” inch wheels, side skirts and projector headlamps with HIDs. The look I was going for, started to take shape. Wasn’t quite ok with the colour shift in the titanium colour wheels so I went for silver. Nothing beats silver.

She’s now been de-badged at the rear. Plasti dipped front grill with four coats of matte black and 3 coats of Glossifier. Rear diffuser has been Plasti dipped as well but in white to give it a more integrated look. Silver gators fitted. Griffin logo at the rear sprayed gloss black.
