    Anyone suggest somewhere to get a nice bodykit (front/rear bumper/skirts) for an Astra Hatchback?

    Something like the Rieger Infinity or Lumma?

    I'd be happy to paint & fit myself.

    This is what she looks like at the moment:

    Don't, go for the mad plastic jap style kits, they look complete tack on cars, keep it subtle, maybe a nice irmscher kit, skirts front and rear splitters and a badgeless grill.Deck it on coilovers aswell mate, it'll look the mutts nutts smooth and low!!

    Coilovers are on the shopping list alright.
    Have badgeless grill fitted already.

    car looks very well mate, and youre right, then red astra is mint as fook!! take inspiration from that and yours will look just as mint!!..tint the head lamps too, very easily done!

    EDIT: East coast alloys in Ardee would be able to sort ya out.. wwww.eastcoastalloys.com or try ebay, i got all ym kits for my cars there.

    yea thats nice alright ;) Are your headlights tinted or all chrome at the moment? I think tinted headlights go really really well with a silver car. I did it on my old Focus a few years ago and loved the outcome

    Its amazing what you can do with a hairdryer, screwdriver and a bit of paint ;)
