Coupe Update on my coupe!

[NICKO_12345]

Right as im keeping my car standard you prob wont notice the differance, but its being lowered, new grill, induction kit, re-mapped, de-badged, exahust and couple of interior bits. pics below:

Mext up are some dark front lights and some lexmal rear lights (nothing like ****e lexus ones dont worry) and im trying to get hold of either a gsi front bumper or a sri-t one. Also want a de-cat pipe and a manifold. Please note people there is no filler on this car

Looking and sounding good dude. The GSi bumper would be great

What BHP is it kicking out now then ?

 

[custard]

[pinin__prestatyn]

That's it, keep it subtle...

 

[Hellcat]

That's not a Coupe ^^^^^^ That's a COUPE.

Careful with the splitter now you have lowered it, bros turbo coupe used to hit everthing and a new splitter was £50 back then.

Well what can i say, its a vauxhall , just kidding mate, looks very tidy, and I'm loving the colour. Why don't all vauxhalls come with a grille like that as standard?!?
I personnaly don't like that chrome trim across the back, although might look wrong without anything there at all.

I did conside taking the chrome thing off but as you said it would look weird with anything there? The standard grills suck on pretty much all the vauxhalls I have not had anyone who has seen the car say they done like the colour and interior, its just so lush inside!

Yeah leave the trim as it is, it does look odd without it and even colour coded looks silly. I think it makes the cars distinctive so that has to be good

That colour is crying out for dark wheels mate :yum:
Not that there's anything wrong with the ones on there but I do think dark multispokes or light weight racing wheels would look really yummy :yum:

Dont no if your looking but at PVS i saw the best grill for the astra H ever!

Saw it on a blue VXR and it really did look so sweeeet!

Even though i'm not a fan of vauxhalls as a general rule I'll admit that the quality of their cars and in particular the interiors is very good (not bad standard stereo's either so far as standard stereo's go), having worked at a Ford 'their age old rival' garage for a bit, in my opinion, they have left them way behind. Althougth they are aimed at the same market, they just aren't in the same league anymore.

PS. I believe that colour is arden blue but i might be wrong, my mum's old nissan 200sx was destined to be arden blue until it blew up

 

[NICKO_12345]

For a standard interior it really is very very good

OZ super T's Always a good choice but a little common nowadays, still look great though so you can't go wrong with them, that's why they are so popular.
The irmy and Steinmetz grills look great but I don't wanna change the exterior too much as it will look too much like a VXR wanna be, also the honeycomb grill on the VXR matches the front bumper and airdam and the rear bumper also has honeycomb sections so I think I'll stay standard.
I am planning on a KW suspension package at over a grand and a new bonnet and big brakes, maybe some OZ Ultraleggera too, but not certain on the wheels just yet, usually takes me 6 to 8 months to decide on those
