Real Astra Street Car
well i have seen loads of "street" astras that are just astras without the decals. i am having a go at turning mine into something you could actualy expect to see out there.
so far i have ditched the side exit exhausts(never be road legal), smoothed off the horrible opel grill, re molded the front fender, smoothed the rear tailgate, added the vents from an sas cwest hood. sprayed it all with ford paris blue which i love to bits and might spray my real motorbike in! oh yeah, it took ages to get that hood looking right, 2000 grit paper was used to get the surface just right

i am going to be relocating the exhausts to the rear of the car, in the diffuser ports, 2x twin can in each, unless one 5" exhaust in each would be better

Nice. I too was getting tired of people calling their Astra a "street" version only because it had no decals.
Keep posting on your progress.

looks great!
 but why do you say that side exit exhaust will never be legal? Ford lightnings have side exit exhaust for exampel other cars also.

Not a favourite of the Astra, but is certainly a different aproach, and I like it.

that looks real nice. it will deffinately look good once your finished. i was going to say the same about the legality of the exhaust then noticed you were from europe and figured your laws don't allow it.
anyhow this will look great once your finished.

i am going to be using some decals that Ales kindly sent on this one, just keeping them subtle tho.
there is a bit more detailing to do on the exterior tho. so its not completely finished yet. still working out how i am going to tackle the interior, keep thinking about going completely custon on the inside, rebuild the whole thing as a custom interior like when pioneer show cars etc. cheers for the comments, there is more i wanted to do to the car but just didnt have the time

all i can say is go get one, they are a great kit, just screaming for a transkit! but beware the doors they are very brittle and need care, but over all i wanna see some turned into mental, non race kits!
