I have done a few more mods over the last few weeks.

Got coilovers fitted last week, this was a must for me as i chose to go for 18inch alloys. Wheels look lost without a decent drop imo. Rears have the adjusters taken out and thinking of taking the seat out aswell to sit spring in oe rubber seat after arches are rolled. Fronts are wound all way down with just 2 threads showing. Going to go lower on fronts aswell as the back when the time comes.

Bought some heko wind deflectors from fleabay. My favourite mod so far, mainly because i have never had them on my previous cars but also loving the look. The tinted deflectors go with the car well so ive been told.

Wrapped the grille in matt black vinyl, not a perfect finish but it'll do until i can get my next idea to fruition.

Opinions and ideas on what i could do next are welcome. I have my plans, but im open to what you guys think the next route aesthetically would be.



Gets a bit tight over bumps!!



Even worse over the drive!!! Some kind of ramp is in order to go lower

Gotta be a lip spoiler on that boot, otherwise looks a very tidy job mate!

Really really like those deep dish wheels, especially the rears!

Funny you should say that, i did buy a lip spoiler, but i didn't read description properly as one i bought is made of rubber I was planning to wrap whatever spoiler i got, but being rubber it'd be a bit difficult! lol. So im going to give trimming the rubber spoiler a go and mounting it at top of rear window as a window spoiler. If it looks pap ill just take it off

Glad you like the wheels

I'm planning on getting one of those lip spoilers from bc.moto on eBay, seems recommended on here, worth a go at £40 painted and delivered.

1. Get some LCI front lights and then kree bulbs so you have white angel eyes
2. Darkline rear lights if you don't have them

I also think it's a bit toooo low as that's just silly. Speedbumps must be an issue! But to each their own!

A little spacer could make the wheels look better too

But nice car!! Just that once the modding bug bites, it itches

+1 for the lci headlights and the bc moto rear spoiler.

To low for me, but looks good... Just wouldnt want to drive it round here!

I thought that would be the case I was on Astra Owners Club and briefly Corsa D UK with a slightly different username but never a ford forum. Not yet anyway.

Thank you.

I'd love angel eyes but oe ones are crazy money for what they are imo . Are there any decent alternatives you can recommend, depo etc?

I've heard alot of people mention darklines on here and will have to look into them.

I haven't scraped on any speedbumps yet amazingly, it just seems to be my garage entrance that causes problems It actually looks lower in person than in the pictures in my opinion

Spacers are a possibility in the future, will need to have a look at what space i gain from an arch roll as i cant go any lower or wider without it.

Tell me about it, my last two cars got me hooked, but this ones going to be something much better (Definitely have a better base car to work with)
