611 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 As someone one said "Today was a good day" Got the last wheel arch trims fitted and the sill trim, window rubber channel trim fitted. Sorted the lights out (they look good with new bulbs) boot and bonnet now shut! so the last final bits to fit now are the little window channel corner covers and i need to flat and polish the gutter trim and fit, then we are all finished!! (well an Opel project is never really finished!!) Then time for some driving and some proper pics of the completed car, happy days!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Nice choice of parking space, we are probably all the same in that respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Looks awesome indeed ! I love those headlights, they don’t look out if place at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) In all honesty never really looked closely at A's before now, what is amazing is how wheel choice, drastically changes the look entirely. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. ATS above make it more ascona A, or kadett c looking! Again lovely car 611, yours is more a retro classic look with a modern twist, nice styling... now go... Enjoy.

It was the furthest away space in the car park and when i got back a bloody transit had parked right next to me!! Im sure they do it on purpose as there was loads of other spaces!! 5 hours ago, Paul Barrett said: Beautiful Thanks, mate. 2 hours ago, Jessopia74 said: Looks awesome indeed ! I love those headlights, they don’t look out if place at all. I think as they are not the new super bright LED's they don't look out of place and when they are off they don't look much different from the originals. I need to get the alignment set as now i might even get to drive it when its dark!! 1 hour ago, ®evo03 said: In all honesty never really looked closely at A's before now, what is amazing is how wheel choice, drastically changes the look entirely.

It really does and i think the color of the car makes a difference as some that look good on one color dont seem to suit another color. When i bough these i looked at loads and wasn't 100% sure if these would work until i fitted one and then realised they were just right with the red. Those ATS do really alter the look, gives it a different sort of feel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
