    I'm interested in doing a few bits and pieces to my car to give it a more pleasing aesthetic appearance.

    Anybody have any suggestions for me?

    Heres a few pics of the car. (Badgeless grill has gone on since)

    Lower it, de-badge the rear and smoked headlights will do wonders for it..and maybe some tinted rear lights like these.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Astra-G-mk4-Drivers-side-Tinted-rear-Light-SRi-2004_W0QQitemZ320205374349QQihZ011QQcategoryZ10404QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem

    I'd get the lower sills, front splitter and door handles colour coded, get some smoked read lights from a later Astra model. Get a set of original foglights, Lower it a bit and remove the towbar and mudflaps. I'd also put the rear number plate on straight.

    The number plate is straight! It just looks off in the pics ...
    Went out and checked it and all, you had me paranoid!
