That looks ace Daz. Didn't realize from the earlier pictures it's got the burg decals on it??

Also Daz, have you thought about painting the rear diffuser black? I personally think it would look really good with the red / black theme.

I reckon either black or carbon for the diffuser.

Looks lovely fella, deffo needs a drop tho i reckon, would it cause to much issue with the garage as the coupe was low.
I think the decals suit the car, especially as they are in black, and the general theme your gonna be going for.

That's one of the reasons I've not fitted a set of DAP springs to mine. It's got about 1mm clearance on the front end getting it onto a garage ramp now, so any lower would cause practicality issues. But they do look a lot better with that little bit extra drop on them.

I love my cars being low, but it does come with a pain in the arse....The Bm will only fit on the one ramp at Daz's work, and by a gnats bolx in his garage.

My old 106 was a pain towards the end of me having it

Couldn't have anyone in the back, other wise it would rub the top of the arch.

Very nice Daz, looks like a racing edition :). Keep on top of the paint work, you don't want it to fade. Mind you I have not seen a Mk5 Astra in red faded yet. I love the colour red in a car. My old Vectra C 2.2 was red and that was nice for me.
