Just finished getting my astra to how I want it - a smart and reasonably subtle car which will get appreciative looks from blokes, not just 16 year old chavs on peds  , so thought I'd post a few piccies and get a general opinion.
I bought it 6 months ago in the week between christmas and new year looking like this
Took the lexarse lights off for standard ASAP, debadged the boot and got my private plate wacked on (sentimental value from my first car - corsa  )
Then over the past few months have had powerflow exhaust system put on with sports cat (sounds  ), lowered 50mm on eibach sportline springs, sunstrip, calipers painted and headlight brows.
Had a good wash and polish the other day so went out and took a few new pics
Hopefully looking very red and shiny
Future plans if I find some money lying about are smoked standard rear lights (from the later models), dark smoked tints all round, and irmscher bonnet extension.......but these are just afterthoughts
And as this is a corsa forum, here's the reason why I'm on here - my first and previous car sold last September 
Opinions welcome

Yea the guy who had it before put the grill and badged the back as opel to be a bit different, as everyone seems to put badgeless grills on, and I liked it aswel just so just kept it
I know its not the best kit in the world but again it was put on before I bought it,
and without spending a lot of money and getting another one I think it looks ok, better than no kit at all anyway

Im not usually into kitted cars, but im liking that! Makes a change from standard/irmscher stuff. And is still pretty subtle. Id take the opc badges off the doors though.

I was going to but that one on the boot took at least an hour to get off!
So decided against it at the time
Mite do in the future if I get very bored
Cheers guys

Like it very much mate, very shiny and good subtle kit imo.
Like wilson_sri said, it makes a change from standard and Irmy stuff.
Overall, very nice mate

dont like the wheels or front spoiler/sideskirts. Astra Gsi snowflake alloys and front bumper would look good

Cheers for the comments guys
With regards to the wheels, again I could find some better ones but that would involve spending money I don't have So they'll have to do for now

Are they 17's?
Not sure why but they look a bit small to me.
Otherwise it looks good,not over the top pretty subtle imo.

Looks nice apart from the wheels and the side skirts.
I also don't like how much the exhaust sticks out.
I do like the front splitter though.
