Vauxhall astra mk4 G 02 plate wip.

Post by cavaliersri130 »

She's my winter project whilst cavalier is in storage.
So I decided to give her some new fancy bits.

I got these off eBay a few days back for the astra she's looking good now.

One question do I have to fit reflectors on my bumper or atleast one now that the lights are black?

Lights comes through ok but there's no reflectors now.I got these off eBay a few days back for the astra she's looking good now.

You'll get pulled over and given a ticket for having no rear reflectors so ye I'd fit some on sharpish. Even red reflective tape will do.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Strip of reflective tape on the bottom shouldn't look too bad...
Wait until its dark and shine a torch at them... They might be ok...

I use to have completely blacked out lights but they reflected fine, was never pulled up on them when stopped and passed the mot...

Fitted a tail pipe tip and a few more stickies.

The tip is mainly because I like the standard backbox on the race tube sounds nice so I thought if it ain't broke don't fix it so I just added a tip to the pipe.

And I love my stickers.

I don't like the dark lights & the reflectors might have been better on the tailgate , exhaust looks good though. Making it your own is good.

Yeah a lot of people don't like them lol.
I'm going to replace the reflectors because I didn't do them right so might try tailgate just to see what they are like.

Yeah I have to straighten at some point.

Fitted my new rear lights today not as tinted as the other ones were and they look a lot better.
Also removed the badges as I hate them.
And cleaned up all the scratches and scuffs around the bumpers.
