Cleaned the car today so thought it would be good to get some pics of the new mods?
Got some Irmscher smoked rears and smoked side reps. Also got some 60mm springs waiting to go on.
What do you all think? Also any ideas on what to do next would be great.

Liking that mate, not sure on the number plates though. Have you chopped the ends off? If it was mine, i'd look into colour coding it next with some Irmscher or Steinmetz bits to go on.

joe6886: Yes Ive cut them down just a little bit, maybe get some smaller ones made though.
Im not sure about colour coding it? Was thinking maybe anthracite trim and wheels?
Cheers for the comments peeps.

TBH, I think it looks ace now. Maybe semi-smooth the boot. Buy a new numberplate light as well, yours is going yellow.

I think it looks better now than if you put anthracite bits on. If you keep the plastics black and don't let them fade.

C4RLO: Im still toying with the idea of anthracite trim and wheels, might just leave it how it is now.
Also number plate light is a good idea, new one on the way me thinks.

I think there a couple of £ at any Vauxhall dealer, it's little things that people notice that make all the difference.

It looks great! A light tint on the windows and a backbox with a 3" round tailpipe would finish it off nicely IMO.

Noticing a brake light isn't a bad thing It's just there, don't like it. Is that standard?

Well it's up to you, at the end of the day it's a safety feature. Mine didn't come with one and it's and X-reg sport. But yeah, I think it looks shite

Cheers Gez. Yea I do want to get the windows done at some point actually.
Not sure on an exhaust though? Maybe something seen and not heard if you know what I mean?

I'm sure i'll live without it.
If you look at the pictures of your car, the glass is green. Those are tinted from the factory that colour.
