    Hi all,

    I got an Opel Astra sport hatch (new model) over the weekend.

    I want to make it look a bit better, add a few bells and whistles.

    Any opinions as to what I could/should do?

    I was thinking of a window tint? I got a quote for €250, for a 40% tint.

    Might get alloys....17" maybe? Any recomendations?

    Maybe skirts??

    I don't want to go OTT, just subtle upgrades.

    Hey there, nice choice of car. Hope it was the sri tdi.

    This is the only kit i like for this car. i think its not over the top. Although i would go for a smaller spoiler

    The views of the kit and more info can be found here

    For the alloys, i would go for these only if the car is black though.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the links!

    No, its 1.6 Sxi.

    That kit looks lovely...do you know is there anywhere in Ireland I could get my hands on it??

    The car is black, but I'm not crazy about black alloys. I like the look of some of the OZ alloys.

    What do u think of the window tinting idea??

    You can get the kit off them. I bought my wheels there. Not sure what the shipping will cost over here. They are based in Norfolk.

    Try this website too. Absolutely anything you need to know about your astra can be found on here. Some Irish members too.

    Yea i would go ahead with the tinting, i find tints really only suit a black car anyway. €250 is not a bad price anyway.

    You would prob fit 18" wheels no problem if you wanted to fill the arches, but if you are using back roads a lot id stay with 17".

    That kit is nice - not mad about the roof spoiler, id keep the lines clean.

    Oh and im getting one of these cars in June - cant wait!!
