Hi chaps

have literally just joined this site, after searching for Signum places for a year, anyway , am here now, lol

i have a 53 2.2 Dti design with auto ( tip-tronic manual ) in black saphire, all the usual design bits ( lowered, Le man half leather seats , 5 spoke 17" alloys , auto wipers, rear stereo , autodip mirror , front fogs , smokers pack , and a few electronic driver aids , tints plus a few more i will remember later )

within an hour of getting here i had de-badged and installed an imported irmscher front grill ( the one with the stainless top bar ) , irmscher wheel centers ,

then i have painted up the callipers black, added an indash 4 cd/cassette autochanger , full incar bluetooth carkit , i have a pair of GSI vectra black headlights to fit this summer ( but it involvs taking of the front bumper ), irmscher 3rd brake light decal in black,and carbon effect headlight protectors

i got the car 10 months old exactly a year ago ( just re-taxed her )from a Vauxhall dealership with just 2075 miles on the clock for £13,500 , i knocked her down from £15k , it turned out she was an actual vauxhall demo car with lots of added extras

anyway, good to be here

welcome to the site

you sound like a very proud owner

Theres quite a few signum owners on here so you should be able to swap some good chat

thanks for the welcome

i traded in a 2002 mondeo ghia for this Signum, and every day i get in her i'm glad i did, only had the mondy for 10 months, dont get me wrong, a great modern car, but it dont get 1/100th the looks my Signum does from other peeps , lol

i also have a Jaguar XJS 5.3ltr V12 in the garage, but she is being tarted up for next summer ( currently having new front panels being welded on )

i want to do more to the signum, but the parts are very limited, and some of those can be tacky ( imho ) , tho i will never diss another car,

just need to think of '' tastefull ' things to do to her, lol

goin for the ' all black ' look, and getting there slowly

BB

Hi and welcome. Line the 'taseful' statement. More my style. I have the Itmscher kit and some others have the Steinmetz kit, so you should get a good look before you decide.
