My brother picked up his Astra H from the bodyshop this week, its got VXR side skirts, XP kit lower rear spoiler, 2 irmscher rear spoilers, lower front spoiler, grill with surround and headlight eyebrows. Looks pretty mean if you ask me but most people have dissed the middle rear spoiler. It does need lowering as its still on standard sri susspension, thats next on his list.

Looks very much a case of all show and no go? Don't like the rear spoilers, they do nothing for the looks, or more importantly I guess they do very little for anything else.

I see this thread on Corsasport as well. thumbsup Take it you've sold your corsa and moved onto a vx like a few of us here? :D As for the astra, it looks fine. Never seen an eyebrow for the astra h before and its does make it meaner. Just lower it and it will look much better.

Snap! My Brother has an Astra 'H' Sri aswell. Not liking the middle rear spoiler at all I'm afraid, it's one spoiler too many.

loose the front eye brows makes it look like a clio3, the middle rear spoiler went out of fashion about 10 years ago i'm afraid. stick some multi spoke alloys on it and lower it and it'll look nice

Your bro's car looks nice, i've driven past it already, however it does need to be lower thumbsup

Your right about the dogging, I went there with my gf for an argument rather than shout the walls of the house down :lol: Parked up then this random saxo driver got out of his car and started waving his hand in front of his headlight, I had one of the WTF moments and then it clicked :gayfight:

lol they are there in the day time too - a few of us from Afon would go jogging over on the gravel while on dinner break, we saw people doing all sorts up by that bridge - many of them were DVL workers!! :lol:
