My Baby

cracking little Astra mate the only thing that lets it down is the colour, its nothing personal i just cant stand any silver car
thats all you see these days

cheers vinny

i know there are LOADS of silver cars around, i looked out my kitchen window the other day and there were FIVE silver cars inc mine in the courtyard but they all looked SHIIITE apart from 1

im a sucker for silver..this is my 3rd one

not much to do now..am really pleased with how my car looks now...have spent ALOT of money since feb and am chuffed with the outcome..

sorry fo sh!t pics..cr@p camera fone

so today i decided to paint the calipers again as they were chipped to hell when i had the pads changed, and im sick off rusty dust on my wheels off the hubs, so im paintin them too..
i eneded up chippin most off the halfords c**p off, wire brushed it then wet and dry to smooth any little bits off...
used smoothrite blue and silver
rusty dust:(

masked each nut hole as to prevent any scuffs when removing bolts, and i was very careful:D



prepped and ready

i did the hub ant the top edge off the disc too..and the blue is a bit darker


well finished off today, put decals back on...then gave it a clean and new nut caps chrome which look smart i think wernt sure at 1st had them on couple off wks and i like them now
