Pimp My Astra

I had to get my front brakes replaced on Friday when they started binding. When I was looking at the wheel to make sure it was the brakes, I removed the trim and this entailed removing the zip-ties that usually hold it in place. This meant I lost the trim on the way home. So while the car was in the garage I decided I should get some more trims from Halfords. They were all nasty looking, or boy racer-esque, so I decided "what the hell?" and bought some boy-racer style mock alloy wheel trims.

Now whenever I look at the car I can't help but laugh. It's just funny and I can't help myself. I noticed a light is out on the front too, so another trip to Halfords is needed, and this time I'm going to get the snazzy blue lights.

What else can I do to my 1995, 1.4L Astra?

Fat exhaust?

Over-sized tyres?

Racing stripe (or even a flame decal)?

Fancy gear lever trim?

Neon strip around the dashboard?

Blue LEDs on the washer jets?

This could be hilarious. :D
