As it was with replica, sagging spoiler....
Spoiler removed and chrome strip added...
All red rears in process.....
Both done....
Horrid, ill fitted, shit sounding exhaust removed and lower bumper painted matt black for that diffuser look, and also VAUXHALL badge removed....
And thats it.
I went for the all red rears as i think they work with the Titan Gold, nice contrast. Might try some standard tinted rears though.
Exhaust, well, i quite like the less is more, smooth look. So will either leave as is and smooth over the cutout, or try and get a standard coupe backbox. At the moment, ive fitted a standard mk4 hatch backbox, which is hidden.
Still trying to find a spoiler-less, Titan Gold bootlid, as mine has been plugged with small rubber grommits for the time being. And also some sort of lip spoiler. E46 BMW saloon is looking like a close match for that.

Spoiler was a replica, can see in the 1st pic how it sags down in the middle. Mounts were broken too.
Im not against them with spoilers, but only with the rest of the irmscher kit. As it is, i prefer them without, suits the chunky lines of the car having no spoiler.
Will try a lip spoiler 1st.

it looks like a focus saloon 
Only kidding mate, looks much fresher now, id get rid of the vaux griffin badge on the boot aswell, keep in theme with the smoothness. Im with the boys who think a spoiler would look good too
nice progress

Massive improvement.
Needs different colour wheels, they stand out too much?! Dont know how else to describe it but they look "off" on the car.
Liking it alot, always liked these colour Astras.

Yeah, i also plan to go lower once i pick up some lower front springs. -60mm.
Wheels, i see what you mean. Is it possibly due to the wheels having 205 40 tyres fitted on a 7.5j wheel?? They do have a bit of stretch on them and you can see this which makes them stand out. Colour wise, nothing short of black would suit the car colour i don't think, but not sure if i want to do them black.
Yeah, ive seen a few of them rip the boot mounts. Think its when folk open the boot and just let it pop up. Does have a bit of force behind it, so would explain that.

Liking what you did with the back bumper Nik!
Unsure on the all reds though, would maybe have left the reverse strip clear.
