Astra 888 No:007

Hi Guys,

I thought it was about time I started posting on here :-)

Anyway, I recently got bought a Astra 888 No:007 ( Love the build number ), I say recently, it was this Monday ( 24/09/2012 ) and I couldn't be happier, I'm really impressed with how it drives and looks.

My plans for her are to have all the front end resprayed so its stone chip free and alittle bit on the back bumper. I also want all the wheels refurbing and some tyres on them and pull the front calipers off have them repainted so looks fresh and mint.

The modifications I'm thinking about are a whiteline rear anti role bar. Uprated rear discs and pads, discs to have the same style grooves on them as the front ones. Braided lines and uprated brake fluid.
Turbo back exhaust, a fmic and a hybrid turbo then tweak the map.

So I have fitted a pipercross panel filter, a short aerial as the standard one looks massive. I'm waiting for a email back from Roose motorsport on there hose kit for it and very tempted to order the whiteline rear anti role bar.

Its been looked after most of its life, just had a new clutch fitted 200 miles ago, its running the latest EDS map which is a improvement over the original map and gives a few extra bhp.
Previous owner fitted some hids and smd led side light bulbs and number plate bulbs. He also ditched the solid 1 piece front discs and upgrade to 2 piece discs with some DS pads.

Anyway its time for some pics. Enjoy!

As you can see the filter was ready for a change.
