You should really consider doing homers or even open your own bodyshop mate.

(then chef part-time for extra muchos)

umm i am not good enough yet, prob wud be betta if i had more time!

happy with how the front bumper and grill have come out cos your cant tell they have been done by me, less orange peel then the rear 3/4pannels that had just been done at bodyshop before i bought the car!

used me naff gun on rest of parts tho so finish was not as good! me betta gun packed up so need to invest in new one, skint tho after buying:-
2new tires for front - £130
2 top suspention mounts - £76
induction pipe - £75

also bought a strut brace this week but it dont go past the turbo cover bit so just gonna take it back!

cant wait to have it on the road! forgotten how fast it was now, got new number plate coming for it also, dad is having mine and i am having IAZ 204, should look nice on there to hide the age of the car! iaz

think there are some other grills, did look at getting twin headlights but they make the indicators stick out so much so sticking with the de bagded gsi grill for now i think, just re done it all cos it was well cracked, the bloke who had smoothed it etc had just piled in filler no figreglass or anything, pretty badly done, all sorted now i hope!

got me induction pipe today, its a bit of a tight fit and it touching the bonnet but will stop the car pulling back when on boost i hope!

Rule 1 of owning a mk3 astra gsi - DO NOT change the front grill, thats one of the things that make it a GSi
