Get some shadow chrome wheels. There was a car similar to that at the North City Cruise, and it had massive shadow chromes, looked the dogs.

you will need to do some arch work on 19's even with standard suspension.

You will need to roll the rear arches, move the bumper bracket and do a little bit of grinding to get them to fit.

here is mine on 19's:



If you are coming to PV2003 come and find the www.astra-sport.co.uk stand we have got 30 astras on it, ranging from Gsi's, Sri Turbo's, coupe's, 888's.

You will be able to get any info you need then. Nice car BTW.
