#1: Bens astra van Project *audio installed pg2* Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 11:27 am ---- well after owning for a while and not being able to fiddle much with cars atm i have decided to do stuff to my van.
done a few little things so far...
four 12v sockets in ash tray, closed....
open.....
have some new audio to put in, already has 180w jvc speakers and tweeters, have this to go in weekend......
cheap cd Headunit with iphone control from headunit it self, and usb slot for memory sticks. cheap 4 channel amp fo the jvc speakers and jbl sub.
plans for the rest are....
- gsi front bumper
- black plastic painted white
- alloys
- lowered 50-60mm (cant go too low as still need to carry stuff for work)
- Remove sign writing.
- Upgrade the current intercooler to vectra or a universal one mounted in bumper.
- give it a good mopping to freshen up paint work.
- if engine goes will be upgrading to 2.0dti or 1.6 petrol engine.
- new back box.
- +more.
how it looks atm...

it has rear seats and is closed off to the rear, has a perfect slot to put the sub in next to the rear seat.
+ i have the sub sitting is shed out of my old car so if it sounds crap its going back in shed lol
mate had same one in his belingo and it sounded ok tbh, not as good as in car but his was all open.
