daytime with rest of car washed a bit pics of the £20 rattle can sideskirts. aint that bad of a match from a can. theyre a bit patchy and cloudy but whatever. its low enough down on car so im happy enough indeed.



high temp paint. them rear drums must have got a bit hot then.

hopefully be able to make a start on doing the rear disc beam this week.

How come your not fitting the rear beam of an astra that has disks already? Thought it was a straight swap?

Wouldnt mind fitting rear disks to mine at some point.

Skirts look like a good match!

got some rear disc hubs off c2vxl from here. cheers owen for them. thought it would be rude not to go and sort the beam out.

just needs some wire brushing to clean rust and some black hammerite on it, then to remove gsi arb and fit that, then fit the whiteline arb also.

lovely hour or so spent on a thursday night in -3 temperatures. hope to fit it saturday depending on the painting process.
