Following the detail of the owners daily driver

He decided to have this Astra Van treated too.
Bear in mind, this is not your average parts lugger.
What started as a set of wheels on a work horse - got carried away over the years.
The van has been resprayed in Meteor Grey, as found on the Skoda VRS range.
VXR bumpers grafted on with extra vents.
Massive AP Racing brakes sit under the new Astra VXR wheels.
Air ride suspension all round... and lots, lots more.

I know the van won't be to everyone's taste but let's try to keep the thread on topic :)
Booked in for a Major Enhancement package.
Ceramic Pro 9H and Ceramic Pro Light.
Here it is on arrival.

It's been in and out of body shops and tuning houses in the last few month so it was pretty dusty and covered in polish splatter.
Power!

Full VXR swap out with keyless entry and push start.

A hint of what could be inside.

The van was washed and decontaminated, ready for the following morning.

I'll get straight to the polishing shots.
These are all after CarPro Eraser wipe down - before refinement.

The rear of the van was full of speakers but as the power increased, the weight was reduced.

A quick hoover as the carpet will be replaced.

When the exhaust gets very hot, it drifts to the side, that's why the bumper has the melted bit. Whoops!

The wheels are being refurbished so will coe back for ceramic coating.
In the mean time, they were hand polished and Auto Finesse Mint Rims applied.
