looking good. I have the same kit, and do you think it is worth to buy the PE set (same as yours)?

IMO... the money is worth for only the exhaust heat protections and the wiper... but if overall is still worth it as this costs cheaper than Scale Motorsport set

Looking very nice.

I love the colour.. ;) Keep up the good work!

comin along nicely. thats gonna be real nice!! good color choice.

Looks really good are you making a street version?

LOL! It's become a trend.

The Astra Street Style! :lol2: how korny.

Seriously, it's like a couple of people have been doing it street style lately.

Sorry all but this is not a street version... ;)

Finally... ... ... this is done!!! :p

Yes!! just don't over tighten it will do...
however... it still break a few times :finger:

here is my inspiration for my real street astra and japped skyline (nemisis), its a turbo astra coupe, 2 litre, its running hydraulics, 20"s, dick vale pait job, carbon inside, custom deep bodykit. if you wanna check it out go to www.maxpower.co.uk its gettin to be a typical uk scene car for those who arnt familiar with us over here.

Nothing worse than Max "wrist" Power and there cars Novas with Jap look Body kits. Please no more..............

Very nicely done! Those doors seem to give everyone a little trouble. The only thing that worked for me was to leave the body mount screws very loose. I discovered that after reglueing the door mounts about 4 times!:mad:

Once again, that is one very nice build!

i myself cant stand the nova's and all the saxo's, but i gleam the jap cars styling and translate it onto my models, i personaly prefer luxury cars, lexus, bmw and my fav, the merc sl500 but you cant slag off people who do what we do in miniture for real, i cant wait to have a go at making a real body kit, have made one for my Suzuki SV650s, it was great, taking a gsxr 1000 body and making it fit, so just admire that they did it n not slag em off

Love it!!!! Amazing job!!!:eek:

Awesome job!!! Were the seat belts part of the Studio 27 set? BTW, is the car sitting on the edge of a balcony?! :confused:
