not feeling the wheels....

[a17xsh]

thats nice

[PpEeZzZzAa]

:\ cant decide on the rims

[David]

nice but wheels dont work

[johnsastra16v]

theres alot of mixed opinions on the wheels. some people love them....others hate them.

car isnt quite finished yet though. smoothed front bumper, irmscher splitters, polished wheels etc still to come

[smudge_don]

kei force 10s are better :yippe:

[Grayo5602]

what with the wheels?

[Olly]

sorry but it looks like ur coupes got trims

[Gazza_DJ]

Im not sure. they just dont look like the belong on that car to me :shrug:

[Neil H]

Get the wheels polished and then lower it a bit further. Then get the interior sorted and i reckon you might be able to pull it off.

Wheels work well with the colour of the car imo.

[Dan_W]

Smart but loose the rims and get these

;)

[johnsastra16v]

interior sorted??

coilovers will be going on soon too, as at the mo its just 60/40. sitting slightly high at the back

[Ernriel]

wheels make it look like an old cavalier not my taste but if you like it then thats all that matters

[Chaz]

colour code those beeatches

[johnsastra16v]

ive thought of that too Chaz, but think thats a little too contraversial lol

would look mental

[Smiffie]

i like it :thumbs:

[Dan_W]

Interior is lush though!

[JustMitch]

looks sexy in the photoshop with them colour coded

[Chaz]

[johnsastra16v]

[Buzzkill]

[johnsastra16v]

[Neil H]

Yeah just a few little odds and end to finish it (like doing something with the black plastic and such).

Oooooh also, is that a standard handbrake or what?

[scott-sxi]

i think they suit it, just needs proper slamming to pull them off 100% though, i was looking at one of these when i was looking at sri's, is yours the 1.8 16v or the turbo? looks smart either way!

[johnsastra16v]

yeah standard handbrake, why?

[johnsastra16v]

its the 2.2 mate.

shes far from finished, but its all progress

[SimonP]

Looks good mate!

Just please get rid of Mercedes Centre Caps!

Clearly obvious merc Centres on a Vaux.... Not cool :lol:

[pllusy]

not sure its really workin with those wheels. recon its a bit of a marmite car.

defo need to loose the merc badges tho

[scott-sxi]

its the 2.2 mate.

shes far from finished, but its all progress

class bet its nippy! it does look smart just abit lower i reckon? but you said your getting coilies so itl look perfect soon!

[Neil H]

yeah standard handbrake, why?

Wonder if it would fit on the corsa, 'cus its not to bad. And i'm sure it'd fit better than the richbrook one i've got atm.

[Hef]

not too sure on wheels tbh fella. interior is sexual though!! :love:

:thumbs:

[johnsastra16v]

hers afew interior shots then

[matt_hilluk]

thats like the nicest coupe ever looks mint

[johnsastra16v]

cheers mat. much appreciated

[tommygun1221]

gloss black centres

[corsa_si]

Looks mint, stuff whatever the others say on here. They'll only be happy if you get SRi rims, change shocks them.

[0Gee0]

Love the interior, as for the alloys they don't suit it to be honest.
I dont think you should get the Irmscher kit, it looks awful for the Astra Coupe.

[johnsastra16v]

as said lol, there are so many mixed opinions on my car lol

ive seen another coupe over in germany with the same wheels painted black and it looks great. but the car is black too, so it may not suit mine.

im calling some companies tomo about a wheel refurb, so we'll see

Don't be swayed by opinions on this site honestly mate, think they look mint. Most on this forum won't be happy unless your car has some sort of irmscher kit on it.

[spikedjack]

gorgeous, drop it on its arse now:)

maybe colour coded centers?

[partridge_88]

doesnt work on a non VAG/merc IMO

[spikedjack]

i think they suit the large low shape

it has a very similar line to a clk coupe so works well imo

[Chaz]

colour code those beeatches

http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/9746/burgastrafa3.jpg

still think that looks mint ^^^^

it looks cool as it is atm tho.

i would skip the irmy kit and go for a lot of smoothing...the irmy kit IMO for the coupe looks very stuck on :(

[partridge_88]

yeah, irmy front splitter on the coupe is dire... looks like a halfords job.

[Chaz]

:yummy:

[CorsaNut]

loving the wheels!

not seen them on a vaux before

[leeds_finest]

Looks good mate!

Ignore the bad comments, if its remotely euro and someone doesnt understand the wide/stretch tyre/merc/porsche look then they'll call it rubbish even when its not lol.

Bottom line is, looks good!

Someone talking sense :)

[john_sri]

looks really smart that mate

[Jameshs_SRI]

It needs a better stance, they will work if its lower and with some spacers to poke them out of the arches slightly.

They suit it but could look soooooo much better

[cunney]

I were going to put some replcia's of them onto my old corsa, with gloss black inside rims, thijnk they'd stand out better on a smaller car rather than your car, loooks different tho which is kwl

[ryansawdon]

I reckon full respray black and black the rims out,interior is very niceee btw and love the grill looks mean

[johnsastra16v]

cheers for all the comments chaps.

just got off the fone to a refurbing company, so il be getting the wheels done.

either black centre and polished lip or colour coded. but colour coded will cost £100 per wheel unless i can chose a match from the powder they already have.

i think the colour coded looks the muts!

that looks stunning^^^

[crossy]

That would look sick euro. drop it on its arse, CC the wheels, and smooth the hell outta it!!

[Keith Fusco]

I really quite like it!

[craigSXi]

like the wheels and the car but need to get rid of the merc badge so it matches the car properly. at the moment it just looks like you stuck any old rims on
