Vauxhall astra mk4 G 02 plate wip.
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.

Re: Vauxhall astra mk4 G 02 plate wip.
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.

China Blue 1989 Vauxhall Cavalier L 18SV
Kings Blue 1992 Vauxhall Cavalier LSi Auto C18NZ
Smoke Grey 1994 Vauxhall Cavalier V6 C25XE
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...

Re: Vauxhall astra mk4 G 02 plate wip.
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.

Re: Vauxhall astra mk4 G 02 plate wip.
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.

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.

Re: Vauxhall astra mk4 G 02 plate wip.
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.

Looney tunes on the kids bedroom wall, doesn't belong on the back of a car, I have to agree. It would look great then
"No the temperature gauge doesn't work........
