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! 
Not gonna do it by the way  just want to see pics of them modded

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.

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!

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