Alright guys, heres a couple of pics of my car. I apologise for the poor quality but its the best i can get for now.

Only mods i have at the moment are Exterior Neons ( which dont show up much in the pics ) and Interior Neons under the dash in the front.

they look good them matey i bet the don't half glow bright when it gets darker?
there different them matey never seen them like that before

keep up the mods matey
Posted By: Neon-O Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 15th Oct 2004 8:53pm
heh cheers, the glow is pretty decent, i aint seen many like it. Apart from that though its pretty plain, ive got tinted windows planned though which should improve the look.

Im thinking of gettin an exhaust too though, which do ye think should come first ? tints or exhaust, both are priced pretty much the same.

Has to be the Z|orst matey, Draws allot more attention and gives ya a Kinda buzz....

Tints look nice but dont annoy the neighbours....

What kind of exhaust you looking at getting ?? Any idea's in mind ??

Did you know one of our sponsers Autosafe Garage are a Magnex Agent, They can Supply and Fit all Performance Exhausts, Magnex, Scorpion, Peco and the popular Rage Exhausts.

What year, Model and engine size is your car mate ??
Posted By: Neon-O Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 15th Oct 2004 11:11pm
yea i think thats the exhaust.

The car is Vauxhall Astra Club 1.6 16v Mk4, its the new 2004 model.
Posted By: Scooby Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 15th Oct 2004 11:20pm
The one you are refering to fits the 1998 - 2003 model only, I dont think Magnex would have produced one for the New 2004 model as yet as it normally takes 12 - 18 months before the aftermarket performance exhaust manufactures produce the exhausts for retail sale. It may be in development though ??

If you want me to check i can contact Magnex for you and find out.

The only thing with Magnex is they are NOT Very loud and only give you very slight performance gains smack
Posted By: Neon-O Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 15th Oct 2004 11:26pm
aye true, its not a Magnex specific one i was after, that is just the one i was referred to by some guy in motor world.

Basically anythin with a decent sound that will fit my motor will do me. But any info you can come across would help, im searchin the web myself but aint havin too much luck.

Also Scooby thanks for the help so far ( on both the threads ) i appreciate it happy
Posted By: Scooby Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 15th Oct 2004 11:39pm
Fastcarz (Performance On-Line) will be getting launched where we will be selling most performance exhausts on-line, In the meantime if you want to pop into Autosafe Garage i will be happy to discuss your options in more detail and provide you with the relevant estimates. A possibility would be Rage universal Exhausts due to your vehicle being so new and Most companies not selling them as yet, Also Rage sound awesome mate.

No Problem with the help, Thats what we are here for.... happy

Posted By: Neon-O Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 8th Jan 2005 7:12pm
Cheers matey, i got em done for £100 in total including the CW sunstrip, but that was a reduced price cause i got so much done.

Seperately the bonnet one was £40, the sides were £80 (for both), and £10 for the sunstrip. Thats a total of £130, but the kinda fella down at splatgraphix reduced it for me.
Posted By: Neon-O Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 11th Mar 2005 1:27am
Thought i'd add the new pics of my car taken from the Rollin Road Day. Cheers to Webby for gettin em for us, nice one matey. happy

Also a little update. Since i've had the graphics fitted i have now also had the center box removed from the exhaust giving it a very nice sound. And the rear side and back windows ar egetting tinted in the next few days, so will hopefully get some pics up of it done soon thumbsup
Posted By: scoop Re: Neon-O's : Vauxhall Astra - 11th Mar 2005 10:20am
