Hozza's Astra

Right since my Astra is going into the body shop next week (hopefully) to have scratch removed I thought I would post a project log of what is to come and what I got at the moment:

Going to do some before photos and then hopefully some after photos!

All I've done at the moment is removed rear/side badges (haven’t got up to date photos of this) and de-restricted the air box.







What I'm doing next is;

Ordered new bonnet which I'm either getting sprayed Gloss black or carbon wrapped

Painting front grill and boot sill gloss black or maybe carbon wrapped ( <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> )

Trying to find some lowering springs to get it sitting lower by about 60mm I hope

K&N Filter

Custom Cat-Back exhaust by John Ashley in Walsall

Tinted windows (hopefully birthday present)

Think I'm going down Oggy's route of tinting front lights but also rear!!

And that’s about it. Will keep you all posted on how things are getting on, hopefully weekly <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Tidy motor, plans sound good too! Hope you get that bump sorted buddy.

My headlights aren't actually tinted, they're just headlight covers which have been sprayed. So I can remove them whenever I wish! Sure you can get then for most cars too

Speak to Adam Spancer (on this) he does carbon wrap cheap and it's good stuff and he fits it for cheaper then most places

I just wish I could make up my mind in which to do, wrap or paint! <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt="" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

I got my headlight protectors off eBay mate. But they're manufacturer specific as they're a perfect fit. I paid £20 for mine used, as I was spraying them anyway.

If you're doing anything at the front of te car, wrap! As it won't be prone to stone chips

There ya go bud cheap as chips

Nice, cheers mate!!

Are they really that easy to put on and undo etc...?

Yep. I just open my bonnet and push them on. Then close the bonnet and there we go. Nice and simple.

I'd spray the inside of them to avoid stone chips and they'll also have a nice shine to them. Got any more questions just give us a shout!
