What actually worked on this car when you bought it?
You don't need a front bar, you need a lynch mob... I say get a stocko red front bumper and love the cheaper excess on your insurance. Gav. |

It might be a C-West copy...but i'm sorry to shatter your illusions - there's no way C-West ever made a kit for the Astina.
$10 says it was bought from Carmate.

headlights work, for pop up lights that you have to wind up yourself
go back to the stocker look - the kit is always going to hammer your insurance - and the BG looks good with stock body dumped on its arse anyway... the C-West copy is pure overkill imho |

who said that i was insuring it? haha.. i paid 4k for it and i under 25.. firstly i cant get comp under 25 for it and secondly.. if i was over 25 it would cost about ... well i dunno, but 1k+.
i was talking bout the actual headlight bulbs hahahah the same bar cost like $450 or something, its a ssexy kit i think.. i might get another.. i had some w@nk job attempt to win a drag against me today in a hyundai with a loud sound system so obviously the car is attracting alot of attention. (i missed 2nd gear aswell, he thought that was funny cuz when he caught up to me when i was trying to get it into gear.. but little he had to laugh about when i flew past him) I love the look of the stocko astina, it just dont want the car looking stock with a massive exhaust and rims .. it seems a little try hard. What you guys think Dan |

Yeah at least bomb insure it (3rd party property)... fire and theft is advisable, and i think Just car give you a certain level of accidental damage cover with their fire and theft now...worth looking into.
without 3rd party property, imagine what it'd cost you if you t-boned a rolls royce or simillar.... |
