Thread: Blacked Out GTC!! I Need help from the L4P fam

What the Doctor thinks your car needs: lowered. Stat!

A hole lot of work!

Dig the seats, drop it though and I think I would avoid black... to many murdered out looking cars or just a dark car with dark rims

I came to this thread because I thought he meant blacked out Bentley GTC. LOL.

That would look Sick if it were dropped

Those seats look sick, if your looking at wheels, I'd go for bbs ch's as they look awesome on Astra's. As for the colour of the car, I wouldn't go matte black, choose something original, like black with purple flecks.

first is first, Thank you everyone for the comments!!

I want to lower it, but the car has the EDS+ (electronic dynamic suspension) so I need to look into that see how I can lower it a few cm. Also I dont want to go into coilovers and other parts because I dont want to spend money on the car, and to be fair I haven't spent a Euro in this car because the insurance company has paid for almost everything.

wheels: the car is sitting right on 225/35 R17 these tyres are dirt cheap. Also previous car had 20" 275/35 R20 and these where 260€*a piece, and I do lots of miles and with student money you cant afford those types of costs.

Colour wise, im kind of digging the matte look. I was looking into wrapping it in matte white which I think that it can look pretty sick. But I have never used this material before so Im not sure I can do it at the shop. Some other members of L4P have told me 3M vinyls are pretty easy to install but, not sure what to do.

For now the idea is matte black for the body, and gloss piano black for the chrome and the front grills (including the plastic around the anti-fog lights). The reason for the piano black is that the front lights and the interior is painted in gloss piano black.
Do you guys recon that could look good?

@Djiceman: your VXR looks really sick man, do you track it every now and then?

Cheers fella. My car has never seen the tarmac of a track, I'm gonna try as hard as possible to keep it away from it too lol.

I personally wouldn't go for matte black for the body unless you have your heart set on it, I've seen an Astra matte black before and it didn't look good, but it's up to you at the end of the day.

She is in the paint booth getting some new paint!!!

Those seats look so good! They look like the Mini John Cooper works recaro. I think they're almost the same, except airbags ...
