I'd like to see if anyone can do this (or may have already done it!)...
An Arden Blue Astra
Black bottom bit of the bumper (in gloss and/or matte black) - You know, the mod that a few people have done
Colour coded rear strip
VXR badge with R changed to blue
That would be the mods I'd consider doing, so would like to know if someone would be able to knock that up for me! :D (probably easier starting with a pic that already has some of it done, obviously)

The lower bumper insert looks great on cars with solid paint, i.e. red and white, not so much of a good luck on the pearlescent paints, but hey, modifiying is what makes cars different!
If you are going black, try doing the chrome boot strip the same colour, that would look well!

I really like the change on the badge - how do you do it? I have an Arden VXR and would like the R in blue - can you give me a step by step.

Nice one Paul! I've actually seen those pics before, but it just didn't click!
Missus doesn't like the colour coded boot strip, but doesn't mind the black on the bumper.

The exterior of the car looks good however the inside IMO is a different storey, it looks soo Chavvy with the blue dash, would have been alot better leaving standard or painted balck instead of blue.
