heres my winter project... then turned into my summer project!! (was nice and cheap) 
thats the only little photo i have of it standard its a little 1.2 16x sxi with all the sport trim as standard which was a bonus.
soon after i added my speedlines alessios (needed a clean up) and had 195-45-16 tyres which were crap! or and some vaux wind deflectors! no springs in (rear on this pic, al get to that bit soon!)
but shes looking dirty and horrible here... (week 1)
gave here a good few cleans and then.... the snow came but i didnt stop there i added a tigra scuttle pannel flat wiper blades and mk4 astra side repete's and 195/40/R16 toyo proxies tyres all round! 
then i added my front and rear gmax shocks and springs 80mm front and 100mm rears (off pazz, thats why i didnt have rear springs in on the above photo^ because i ordered them  )
then after all the snow went!!! i fitted me gmax shocks and custom springs this photo is the same day about 5mins after i fitted them so its went down "alot" since then. (now settled in)
then about a month down the line a pair of morettes popped up! i removed the inners and fitted yamaha r1 rear indercators to lower slam pannel (lower bumper grill) gave her the track slag look 
because they were white.. had to go to my local body shop and get the masks sprayed matt black:-
also added new number plates, and opel front grill,rear opel mudflaps,boot badge,steering wheel badge.
bought a 10k hid kit next gave her a good old polish she got new discs and pads on the front a brand new fuel tank, new exhaust from cat back (just standard), new windscreen,new rad,oil change and coolant,spark plugs,k+n pannel filter and speedlines re-furbed
then set off out for upto date photos:-
the boss getting in the photo 
pic of the bay.... xe........well x12......xe ( for now i may be getting my brothers c20xe soon )
this was taken last night 
(the big bad boss sitting on her iphone4! im guessing facebook....?)
got few bits to do to her:-
- bootlid and spoiler re-sprayed
- few bits and bobs of bodys work little daft dints (am a tart)
- rear back box (3" rolled tip)
then:-
- c20xe to be fitted in the near future, i hope? 
this is a slow project i also have a mk4 astra gsi so running x2 cars isnt cheap 
i was hoping if i get her all done for ***PVS*** i could stick her on the CS stand what yous think? 
any comments and feedback welcome and will keep update
