Last Car and Current Car!

[DDC]

Not posted pics for a while as I know don't own a Saxo anymore. Currently got an Astra which is off the road currently getting a few bits and bobs done for Donny. I am planning to sell up in the summer and get another Saxo though, this time a Saxo VTS!

what u having done to the astra

[Emma_ZS]

nice astra matey!

[DDC]

what u having done to the astra

Flushed bump strips, M3 style sideskirts smoothed into bodywork, flushed tailgate, number plate recess in rear bumper. When I get back from Donny will be getting the arches smoothed and the bumpers smoothed. Maybe some German plate too :P

[hesslevtr]

liking all the smoothing

id take the spoiler off id leave the rer plate there and smooth all around the lock recess if you know what i mean

[Jackman]

Like the astra alot.

love the colour

That was my original plan but just getting the tailgate smoothed now and got a number plate recess for the bumper.

Think I am going to leave the spoiler on, will be selling soon so the new owner may decide to change it a little by removing the spoiler etc.

Astra will look nice for sure, Looking forward to pics when it is finished!!

[milesg]

quality astra m8, cant wait to see the finished project

[gokan]

lowered sax

[rushy_23]

Both cars are nice but not my taste.
For some reason the Astra screams "I ragg my car around with the family in"

LOL, just what you see around here like :p

[scottishsaxo18587]

liking the car buddy not seen u about in a while!

[Predator_R32]

very subtle indeed mate but the eye brows have to go sorry :)

[Dan]

Not really a fan of either of them to be honest. Different though I guess.

[mattchewone]

nice astra think they look really nice with lowered and with a small spoiler

[Tupps]

astra is smart from the front, could do with a rear splitter though

[babers]

had an astra just like that in blue mate i loved it, but it had 139,000 on the clock so had to say bye bye to it.
nice car mate

In the continent they tend to leave the rear bumper, kinda going for the euro look! :y:

[Certi]

Is that Vectra wingmirrors on the Astra?

I remember your Saxo from the first Scottish Sax-P meet.

Well spotted, yeah there Vectra B mirrors with custom baseplates.

Yup that was me, will be at more once I get my VTS :y:

Nothing euro with that exhaust sticking out dude

[DDC]

Rubbish!

My mates euro corsa was magazine featured with a similar exhaust.

[Tupps]

Yeah but thats Uber low

[DDC]

Look at my front bumper though, skirts are going to be the same.

[Tupps]

get some pics of it on the road to see how it sits....rather than on grass?

Will do, when I get the car back. :A:

[DDC]

The car was showing at Donny at the weekend. Got some pics, ain't the best though but will get better ones soon.

I have shown how low the front and side is off the ground. The phone is slightly tilted but the phone is taller than the distance from the ground to the bumper.

[Baz]

old saxo was awful. wont comment the astra

don't comment at all then :)

wasn't too keen on the saxo either tbh, but i do like the Astra

:oops: Now now Rushy be nice lol

I love that comment - I think 5door hatch backs are very hard to style correctly as you always compairing them to the 3door model. Some of the mods are well picked out like the GSi rear spoiler but maybe a slated grill would have been better and maybe a more OE factory look ie 5door GSi look a like would have been more suited to the 5doors looks.

But its clear to see you've spent alot of money onit and it does look nice just not my cup of tea, sorry :oops:

Be interested to see the result of the mods your having done at present tho :y:

[JamieB]

astra is looking good mate, was going to go donny south but was in no fit state due to go....mainly due to a 13 hour drinking session that ended in the early hours of sat morning!! lol

[DDC]

Thanks for the comments.

personally i think tht astra is gorgeous, love the front splitter only thing im not really sure about is the alloys, what are they by the way?

[DDC]

Thanks mate!

They are League Alchemists with a diamond cut rim and spokes. If I decide to keep the car I am looking at getting some euro-ish wheels.
