Spent the last few days giving the astra a freshen up after we've decided to keep it for now. Wheels were a mess so did them black just for a change. Will be getting them powder coated next year but they came out pretty well for now.

Thinking about getting some light tints on the back windows but not sure.

thats actually really nice looking, needs a few more black bits though to pull it off like its a scheme

vxr wingmirrors and black strip on the boots instead of chrome.

Lol nah its on a higher level..

Thought about doing the boot strip black but I quite like the chrome. Not sure if lightly tinted windows would tie the wheels in a bit more.

Probably Kingdom Coatings in Leven. Done a few things for me before, always makes a good job.

No other pics I'm afraid, just a few quickys when it came off the axle stands.

Would be a bit worrying if a vxr smoked as much as this does..

Just normal spray tins.. Just masked the tyres up really anally to paint them. Plan on having them done properly at start of the year so this was just a bit of a test to make sure I liked them black.
