  • Insignia facelift mod options - New Owner

    Hi,

    I'm soon to become the owner of a 63 plate facelift SRI insigina, the previous owner seems to have done a bunch of stuff to the car, but I won't know in detail until I pick it up what they have actually done.


    Whats already been done (that I know of)
    Lowering springs
    Bigger alloys (not sure on the size of these) - possibly even spacers, the wheels sit out of the body quite wide, but i could just be making things up from my short look/test drive.
    Tinted windows
    Blacked out all the chrome window surrounds
    Replaced the rear light covers with blacked out versions - these are being taken off for the MOT but the garage are keeping them for me to re install - any guides on how to get these covers off?
    I THINK there's an aftermarket exhaust on there, it certainly sounded quite sporty on the couple of test drives, but I couldn't see any visible exhaust tips. Is there any scope for replacing the rear splitter/exhaust layout to have some visible exhaust stuff happening?
    I thought I maybe saw some red LED strip lights installed along the dashboard, but didn't see those working or anything.

    Plans
    Quite fancy an android aftermarket head unit with touch screen/satnav and run spotify directly on it. I saw the Tesla style head unit, but i'm not sold on it.
    HID/LED kit - once i've checked if there's maybe already one done
    Rear splitter/Exhaust solution
    Wind deflectors
    Rear parking sensors (camera if I install a head unit)
    LED interior lights (again, this might've already been done)
    Might go down the route of some aftermarket speakers/underseat subs etc - will need to wait and see how the existing ones sound

    This will be my second vauxhall and I was previously a member of the Astra Owners Network forum, which was very helpful and everyone was so friendly, so can't wait to get stuck into the insignia!

    With that being said, what are some mods that folk have done to their facelift insignia so I can get some ideas about what can actually be done?

    What would you like to do or have plans to do?

                  Hi,

                  I good mod that makes a lot of difference to the back end is the rear inner tailgate lights. If the car doesn't come with Adaptive Forward Lighting, they'll just be dummies. They look far better working. exclusiv's signature pic shows the inner part working. His is because he has AFL though (the snob! ).

                              I will do once i've picked it up, private buyer of my current car has messed me around with collection dates etc. Once mine is gone, i'll be able to pick up the Insignia (It's reserved and sitting waiting for me to collect). Looking at Tomorrow ish at the moment!
