Love the LM's, BBS make great alloys.

Also liking the sequential private plates on the Astra and Corsa!
The plates are pretty good, my second name is Henty, the old man got me mine for my birthday years ago before he died and he had the H5 plate on his car, when my dad past i had the mother of all arguments with the DVLA to get it onto my brothers car even though thats what the old man wanted!

Are those LMs genuine or the replicas? Surely genuine ones would be worth more than the car, (no disrespect).

They are reps, when i looked at the price of gen ones you are right they would of cost more than the car!

I don't normally like Vauxhalls, but that is very nice! (not so fond of the red dash trim though)

The rear lights are very rare lexmaul ones, managed to get hold of them but they did cost £200.
Ouch.. my mate had a 2003 Vauxhall Astra 2.2 Bertone Coupe and those would have looked great. If a bit pricey.

BBS LMs (genuine or reps) just make any car look soooo much better.

I am thinking of having it re flocked in black or something not so bright.

I think that looks excellent!

I've seen a few of these now done in the (I hate to say it!) but "euro" look and they look great!

GSI bumper makes such a huge difference!

I'm a Vauxhall boy but I've never been able to digest the two tone leather interiors they do.

The two tone interior only comes on the special editions, its one of them though, some people like it some don't, I think it looks loads better than a all black cockpit.

Changed the back a little bit, I was not a fan of the chrome, now carbon wrapped.

I like it. How does it drive in the cold weather?

Drives fine, much warmer inside than I was expecting, the heated seas help though smile

Saying that, it lives in the garage and pretty much only comes out at the weekend.
