Does that grille have to have the bodycoloured "monobrow" on it?
no doesn't have to, had the same grill in my last car and wanted to change it a bit this time round.

Was that nav screen a straight swap? I did buy all the bits to retro fit nav to mine but discovered none of the loom was present and along with being coded I never got it done.

i had the normal 'budget' nav system, i then added the colour screen which was a straight swap with the new console.

I really, really like the work done to it. Wheels is a bit of a letdown imo though. Dosn't seem to go with the car.
Porsche badges on rims and steering wheel makes no sense to me. The same goes with the german countrycode on the plates.
This is just me being picky though. Everything looks to be done to a very high standard. One of the best Astra convertibles I've seen.

yeah the blue mk4 hatch was my last car, skunkworkz is just my label that i put on the cars, if we ever meet i'll explain why, there is a reason for the name

Thanks for all of the feedback both positive and constructively negative.
Just to clear up some questions people have asked:
I've been brave enough to try something different and fit porsche wheels, so their gonna wear porsche badges. would you buy a set of bbs whees and swap the centres for something else??
the steering wheel was always a tough one. this was the only griffin left on the car so i had to do something with it. i'm not 100% convinced on the porsche badge myself at the moment, i am considering a black griffin instead, but we'll see, it'll do at the moment.
for anyone who has asked about me making rear bumpers, fuel filler caps, rear handles, front grills, etc for them, i'm afraid they won't be available as if you knew the thinking and actual man hours that i've put into them you'll understand why i've done them to be individual. feel free to copy them though if it is in the style your looking for.
these are obviously my opinions hence why i have built this car in the way it is. looking forward to meeting some new faces at this years (sunny) shows.
