51 plate vauxhall astra.

Post by cavaliersri130 »

The old girl has had a face lift.
Hate the original grill so I brought a slatted grill off eBay.
Hoping today my headlights will turn up As they are black.

After

Also she has her black wheels once wing is on I'm putting my mud flaps on.

What you think.
Next thing to do is get windows tinted, lowered and new bumpers.
Plus I want to get a new back box a bit louder.
