German tuner issues pictures of its upcoming Astra kit

The new Vauxhall Astra hasn't even been launched yet, but that hasn't stopped German tuning firm Irmscher developing a sports kit for the car.

So far, only pictures of the kit have leaked out. They show a front spoiler lip, side skirts, a new front grille and a rear bumper that makes room for four exhausts on the car.

It's not known what interior tweaks will be available, but expect aluminum pedals and other detailing. The car is also expected to have lowered suspension.

Irmscher has also also created a new alloy wheel design that is available in sizes from 18- 20-inches.

Full details of the kit will be released at the Frankfurt motor show.

Instead of buying dubz, a sports kit and what not, why don't people save that money for a decent car? You can spend £1000's on an Astra and it'll STILL be an Astra!

It's because they can pick up more teenage schoolgirls with a tricked-up Ashtray than with a "decent car".

Oh please... First of all, the new Astra is not even out yet. And all the previews show that it's much more than "decent". Second, if you knew anything about Irmscher, you would knew that they offer several and different single parts, not specific and fixed kits/configurations. These parts shown here in the new Astra are just an example. If people don't like the four pipes, they can choose another ones with another style or maintain the original ones. Just like the "Opel OPC Line parts", these Irmscher parts are made to give the buyer's Astra a personal look. He can choose a more discrete style, improving just a little bit, or a more agressive one. No one will buy these parts thinking that will turn the car into another one, they will buy them to make their Astra look even better accordingly to their personal tastes. The client can choose just one or a lot of them. They are also supplied through Opel/Vauxhall dealers and they can be mounted by them, that means they are a perfect fit and the colors will be an exact match to the original ones.

"Teenagers" will not have money to buy top quality parts like these, they'll stick to bad taste tuning ones.
