Cheers, that bonnet guard saved my expensive AFL headlights when I hit a pheasant at 65mph last year and It also reduces stone chips drastically, they're definitely a marmite 'love it or hate it' mod lol !!!

Thank you, red is my favourite colour for a car and the biggest advantage is HEATED recaro seats

I don't have any spare alloys any more although I used to have 2 spare sets plus what was on the car at the time , the car started off on the silver 18" Penta's

Picture 1


I then swapped those for the silver 18" VXR replicas which were previously fitted to my other Astra

Picture 3


I then got bored so I had the 1st set (Picture 1) refurbished in sparkly silver (Picture 4) and refitted those (Picture 6) while I had the silver 18" VXR replicas refurbished in gloss black (Picture 5)

Penta's refitted after having them refurbished:

Picture 6


Once the 18" VXR replicas came back from powder coating, I refitted them (Picture 7) and put the silver 18" Penta's up for sale

Picture 7


I then swapped the silver 18" Penta's (Picture 1) for a set of 18" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 is black (Picture 8) which I used as winter wheels for a while

Picture 8


Then I got bored (again) and got rid of the TD 1.2's (Picture 8) and bought myself a set of 19" Vectra SRi XP alloys (Picture 9)

Picture 9


The 19's needed some work so I chose not to fit them until I had got them sorted out, in the mean time I had my photoshoot (Picture 10) for a national UK magazine called Total Vauxhall so I left the 18" gloss black VXR replicas on for that shoot.

Picture 10


Once the 19" Vectra XP wheels were ready, I fitted them and sold the gloss black 18" VXR Replicas....

And then I got bored lol !!!

So then I picked up another set of 18" VXR replica alloys but this time I opted for the diamond cut finish instead (Picture 11)

Picture 11


These have been on the car since February 2013 and thats the longest I have kept a set of wheels so far lol, I am now looking for a set of these, 18" Astra Twintop alloys



Or even a set of BBS CH replicas like these...
