Nimraynn Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I thought I'd share some photos of my old VX Astra SRi. I still have it sat on the driveway, but unfortuantely got written off so it is currently being broken for parts before I scrap the shell I have a full progress thread here: http://www.astraowne...rogress-Thread. I warn you though, it's 71 pages long! This was the car on the day I bought it: After many, many mods and a fair wedge of cash, this is how it ended up looking (far from finished): Original Spec: Vauxhall Astra H SRi 1.9 CDTi 150 Moonland Grey Factory fitted XP bodykit 18" Penta alloys Otherwise just standard trim Complete list of mods: DTUK Green Box (Made 180BHP on a low setting, would've been up to 200BHP if I had a chance to fix an overboost issue) EGR blanking plate 18" Pentas refurbed in gloss black Genuine VXR front bumper Opel OPC honeycomb upper grille painted gloss black Eyebrows Wing mirrors wrapped gloss black Side rub strips wrapped gloss black Chrome boot strip painted gloss black with Astra J style CDTi badge Team Heko wind deflectors all round Facelift rear lights Full piano black centre console & steering wheel controls Full blue & white interior SMD conversion 9-tower SMD sidelights and number plate lights Road legal metal pressed plates Rear parking sensors Corsa VXR side repeater surrounds OPC-Line badging to replace SRi badging Opel steering wheel airbag (Couldn't replace just the badge ) Silver interior trim wrapped gloss black De-wiped rear end Those are what I remember. I'm sure there were a few more. Mods I had planned: Dual exit custom ehxaust DAP-R lowering springs VXR shock absorbers Roof wrapped gloss black VXR seats Maybe a set of 18" BBS CH alloys Unfortunately, this is how it ended up just 24 hours after the rolling road photo above At the end of the day, the car did it's job and I'm still here unharmed, so although it's a shame to see with all the time, effort, money and plans that had gone into it... time to move on really. Hopefully, onto an E46 Cheers for looking, Mike Rob_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimraynn Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 The guy in the Saab was in the wrong lane of the roundabout just coming onto the sliproad and I had to swerve to avoid him but due to carry a bit of speed (normally perfectly fine for that bit of road), ended up going straight into a crash barrier, skidded down the barrier, spun and hit the other barrier. Front drivers wheel is bent on the suspension, not sure of the complete extent of the damage behind it as I haven't jacked it up and pulled it all apart yet... but the front bumper is completely totalled, as is the crash bar behind it. The drivers door is buckled. Rear drivers side door has a fair bit of damage. Both drivers side wheels would need at least a refurb, not sure if the front one is actually bucked or not. Both headlights shattered internally. So it is repairable, but looking at a cost of around 4-6 grand to repair, so not really worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
