astra coupe bertone 2.2 16v

[Tris Harris]

looks a lot better, much better than before, glad you decided to tint the whole of the rear lights now

like the spraying you've done to the interior aswell, looks very OEM. Also noticed the Opel badge... you prefer Opel to VX? I dont get it, did it come standard with that or did you change it to that?

Like the spoiler as well... you decided to keep it now then?

 

[Munkul]

opel badge much cooler than vauxhall innit

 

[jug]

collecting the new alloys today. cant wait!

I dont get it, did it come standard with that or did you change it to that?

it should have a vauxhall badge, but vauxhall as a brand lacks credibility imo, and has a pretty crap image. everyone knows it is just a RHD opel.

in the 1930s GM should have rebranded both to GM europe imo. that is what happened behind the scenes, but GM thought it would be good to keep the brand names of the companies they bought to hide the fact you're buying an american car. having a british brand to satisfy the UK market and a german brand to satisfy everyone else in europe. its almost an insult to british buyers to continue this branding strategy when it is so obvious that vauxhall does not exist. yes i'm ranting now, i'll stop.

you decided to keep it now then?

not sure yet. might still give it to my GF next month when her insurance is due.

nice wheels... they look like the Astra VXR ones? maybe in a smaller size? They'll set it off a treat!

 

[Munkul]

they are standard on certain trims of new shape astras.

it will be interesting to see what they look like on you car fancy doing them anthracite?

yeah they are bascially the 16" version of the VXR snowflakes.

yeah, SXi trim

i love anthracite, but i think silver to match the car should work nicely.

well i went to collect them only to find 2 tyres have 1mm left and all 4 alloys have marks so i dropped out of the sale.

why people do not describe their items correctly i have no idea.

 

[Munkul]

you should have taken a vibragrip with you.

know the feeling, and you end up completely wasting your time and money.

Nah they are basicaly Venoms that had too much cake.

You still looking to find a set of them or were they gonna be an impulse?

lol thats a great analogy

You still looking to find a set of them or were they gonna be an impulse?

tbh i'll have pretty much any 16" or 17" vauxhall or saab alloys.

i'm not too fussy about the style as long as the tyres are good.

i only want to replace my current alloys because almost every coupe has them.
