Hello, Ive just recently bought my Astra (2weeks ago) i previously had a Corsa C, i will upload a picture so you can see, hope to learn a few things from you all and maybe get into little mods, all i want to do for now is a sound system, i already have components just wanting a pioneer headunit and slim sub for the boot, i have an idea in mind like but will have to save up a few ££ to get it to how i want it
Hey Carl, yeah bud it was good owning a corsa but you've gotta move on I'm thinking sound system for now then maybe exterior pack with penta alloys I don't know if I'll mess about as much as I did with the corsa :/ I'll see haha oh about the meets let me know where and when and I will pop on by
defo let you know about meets, will be on facebook so you will get a invite im thinking adding the 3 gauges to the centre console but may wait until exhaust, suspension and remap
Very smart corsa mate!! We've all been there done that colour coded slammed or Sri wheels with a nice exhausts astras are a little more grown up! Ha Astra looks nice aswell
Cheers for all the positive comments Corsa was a nice car, had loads done to the interior but just don't have any decent pictures of that on my computer, ill upload a few f people are interested like but its a corsa at the end of the day haha, got a few little more ideas for the astra but wont really effect the look of it how it is as im not that interested on kitting it up like i did my corsa, as im more for the fuel economy now haha turned from a young petrol head to an old fuel saving man in less than 2 weeks haha!
Very nice..I was like yourself..bought the 1.7cdti SRi standard..then went ahead and got the exterior pack and Pentas..Which i must say really helps the astra..Got some LED number plate bulbs too..a nice mod and much better then the yellow look lol..
I think the kit and the Penta's will be a go ahead, but for now im just going to do the littel things, its how i started out doing the corsa, but like you say the number plate bulbs are much better!
Just a quick update for anyone that is interested, i will be buying a DTUK Green Tuning box sometime this week or next, so that will tick off a point on the to do list, i also had a tyre blow out on Thursday night passenger side :/ scared the hell out of me like but its all fine now as i got 2 new tyres after been advised the drivers side was getting low, so i thought best off getting both done! set me back a fair few bob!
Other than that the last thing i did was top up with diesel.
Cheers Carl, Ive bought the DTUK tuning box now just waiting for it to arrive then i will be fitting straight away XD, yeah its a bit of a bummer about the blow out but then again glad it happened the way it did and it went a good time! got the tyres sorted out now so that's a peace of mind sorted! Soon will be the XP kit and then maybe go back to what i originally had planned.... a stereo system but its not fully needed yet to me haha i can put up with the standard 1 for now
Cheers bud, yeah i loved the corsa but had way too many problems with it, as in engine problems and front end rattling!
Not going for a full boot build as i did that in the corsa and i use my boot so going for either a slim line sub or a build up back to the back seats just so it leaves room for storage in the boot
Cheers ive got plans for the astra but not going to the great deal i did with the corsa, sound system first as thats a must! the standard speakers are naff haha
