Apart from that bit of trim at the top of the bonnet the outside looks good but that trim breaks the line of the car up too much for my tastes.

You've obviously put a lot of time and money into it but I'd have left the inside well alone.

Don't get me round I think the Astra Coupe is a nice car, it's a great colour, however I think the electric blue interior and body kit weren't necesary. i think the best think you did was the wheels their great.

Like most of it, apart from the blue interior bits and I don't like the rims too much.

Athough in your defence, it seems the interior came like that.

Nice car for the most part anyway.

I like that. Looks like you've put a lot of time and effort in. What is that blue bit at the top of the bonnet/bottom of the screen? I'm not sure on that.

I agree with the bit at the top of the bonnet. Ruins the lines of the car IMO.

The seats are standard SE2 items and look alot better than the pictures show.

Good effort mate, not sure on the Astra GSi bumper but you can see you have put alot of effort in with the Irmscher gear rather than the cheap st about.

AOC, Detailing World and now Pistonheads - we hang around in the wrong places!

Yep, still really nice modifications

I particularly like the GSi bumper, and the BK 18" alloys

Looks quite nice, I've been looking at a few of these lately.

What sort of fuel economy does it return (I assume its a 2.2?)

Looks pretty tidy. IMHO remove the gearknob surround, handbrake surround and if i am seeing correctly the chrome cigarette lighter - put them all back to standard. Externally the only thing that catches my eye is the rear lower bumper extension/spoiler thing - dosen't suit the car to my eyes. Otherwise I quite like it smile

It looks just like my 1.8, and i get about 260/280 miles per tank, and that costs me about £45.
