after selling the team dynamics savage alloys i had bought i decided to fit lower profile tyres and get my wheels sprayed. i also got the chrome boot strip done while i was on. next i painted the calipers and fitted some super sport coilovers...

before:


after:














also found a standard vectra and took pics next to it to show the differance:




i do still have some plans:

gloss black roof and mirrors and plastics
something special with my standard grill
3 inch outward rolled exhaust system full sport
irmy dtm spoiler and front splitter
hid fogs
ice
tint clear bit on rear lights
20mm rear spacers

what you guys think?

that is a very nice looking family wagon

only thing i don't like is the debadged grille. think it would look better with a standard one on, possibly sprayed to get rid of the chrome?

also, the chrome at the bottom of the windows could be sprayed too.

really like the look of that though.

I wasn't sure about this to start with when I saw you buy it and heard you had plans etc, but I have to admit, it looks good

Not all that keen on the Irmy plate holders but other than that, looks good!

Love it! Just feel like it needs something to break up the silver on the sides, maybe the rub strips done in same colour as wheels/boot strip?
