          I reckon some sideskirts and a rear bumper/skirt to keep the astra's lines the same and there won't be too much left before you reach gte perfection m8

                          a few changes, new wheels, got some black cav gsi rims as the 17's were to big for the astra and wanted cheaper tyres again.


                          and the engine has gone black, and its has been rebuilt twice in the past 2 months after the initial rebuild, all was going fine till a ring decided to snap and much the bore.

                          and with the rebuild the CR has gone to about 11.8:1


                          thats about it for the mo, new cage and exhaust in the next few months hopefully.
