I can't get over that rear wing, it must add at least 50kw of power. Seriously it looks terribly bad. :

It actually looks better now, than when it was being done to begin with. It looked like that got the angle grinder to the rear panel and cut where the lights and boot go. Then it looked like they got the 10 pounder out to make the rear quarter meet up with the rest of the taillights and boot. Bog they used. I think 20 KG is being conserative. I reckon closer to 50KG. Just incase people think I like the car, not a chance in hell. It looks like an abortion and delete the wording now if my wording upsets the mods. The owner probably things it's the bees knees. |

When hoons lose their car for hooning they should be given that car to drive around in as punishment.

Does the second sunroof act as a rear end diffuser?
note to self "panel alignment is within factory specification"

I just can't get past the fact that thing must be one huge defect notice. If I were driving that, I'd never be able to pull up next to a Police car at the lights and be completely comfortable.
(Granted, that applies to about half the pre-VX commodores I go past on any given day)

Yes, Astra is indeed a limo company that is based near Sydney airport. The owners name is Alf Merlino. In 1999, he bought 16 LTD's at one time - 8 black and 8 white. He had them parked up and down the street where he lives. The reason he later went to Holdens was because Holden offered a much bigger discount on their cars. Though he did buy a few BA's he later sold them off in order to get more Holdens. Shame really. BTW, Alf owns an F430 convertable and a F360 Modena convertable. Both in midnight blue. You'll see the F360 with the number plate ASTRA. Nice company but some of the drivers are a bit knobby.
BTW, that commodore is so pig ugly it's in danger of getting swine flu.

This large spoiler stood out, then at the next lights I saw a stock-looking one (still pretty large too???) and photographed it for comparison purposes.
