Is it as easy to rep a mk4 astra as a corsa is! I love them but my insurance screams no to me!!
Any big differences other than engine wise? Ie built in grill or something?
Anyone done this? Pictures?

Leather interior wheels that's 1k gone a full kit your looking at 3-400 you don't have to worry about paint as that's what you do so yeah in your case it's nit that bad idea apart from when you tell your insurance company it's a rep lol

Probably more for the full kit, think the front bumper with fogs and ills etc are still going for £300+ i could be wrong tho

Last time I looked, its was about £350 for a set of snowflakes in ok condition, About the same for the front bumper with grilles and fogs, skirts are about £100, for a set of rear lights about £50, headlights are £70 for a new set of depo ones. Unsure on the price of a rear bumper (As they are slightly different)
As for the interior, They vary in price according to condition.
Your best bet is to go onto astra owners club and look for turbo chris, I think he comes on here, He breaks mainly GSI's so he should be able to sort you out with the bits you want!

Straight away you would need either a 1.8 or to convert the hubs on a 1.6 to 5 stud. you would tell it's a rep with 4 stud wheels.
kit is about £1k with interior so it soon becomes expensive.

As long as you get the facelift astra you won't need to buy rear lights as they were tinted/darker as standard once the car was revised

Seeing as its a rep,you could do it on the cheap without having to buy genuine parts.
Darker front lights can be done DIY.
Replica front bumpers can be had off ebay for about 100quid tops and some are meant to be very good quality.
Again,seeing as its a rep,where do you stop??
Could just concentrate on the exterior and it wont cost THAT much.
Pick up a cheap 1.8 Sport/Sxi etc as a base car.

I sell this stuff day in day to people who are doing reps etc so there should be some around for sale I would of thought if you didnt want to do it to your own car. The replica bumpers on ebay are shite, dont bother
