Although buying the kit would be very expensive, thats if you can even get hold of them?

Cant be that hard to make one (styling wise at least)

Buy the front bumper and splitter, arches and sideskirts. Prob have to mod the sides and rear arches to make them fit but nothing a good bodyshop couldn't sort!

I'll try and dig out a pic, my mate had a silver MK4 van (2.0 16v Derv) lowere d80mm all round, 17s on the front, 18's on the back and a coupe front bumper. Looked very different and quite smooth.

Seen a fair few.

Mate of mine had a Mk3 Astra Van C20LET 266bhp In Volvo orange.

Really nice motor that was until he crashed it.

Theres a few about that I know of.

1 is silver on Porsche wheels, with brown tan leather interior.
Another is the 888 van, and c9rum over on astra-sport has a nice silver one (gsi front) that will be getting a z20let soon.

I know its been done before and I've just had one of my random thoughts about it. Buy a Mk4 Astra TD van, 18s, GSi front and colour coding, rear bench conversion for carrying extra passengers and then a big boot for a nice ICE install. Anyone got pics of any Astra vans done like that? I know you could buy an estate with seats allready in but I think a van would be cooler and its something a bit different! :cool:

Not gonna do it by the way :lol: just want to see pics of them modded :thumbs: :look:
