Those seats look amazing, they really set the car off, and totally transform the look of the interior, I really like this Astra, it looks better every time it appears on the channel!!.

Looks really nice James, I know the feeling when you get a result like that, and even cleaning them up to that standard is very rewarding. Good to see you back to form and putting out plenty of material. One of my favourite sites. Keep up the good work.

Looking good! Did the same to An A3 Sport I had several years back, fitted an S-line interior into it totally transformed it.

Loving the content mate, please keep the vids coming, brakes, servicing, upgrades - I’ll watch it all happily.

found your channel through this Astra series. amazing work I've finally watched them all. Came across you as I picked up a Mk4 SXI 1.6 last week. I didn't have the work to do you did when you got yours but your videos will prove incredibly useful for any future work I need to do. Thank you so much for such a detailed and extensive series.

Really enjoy your Astra uploads, James. I have a 2.2 Sri in Silver - fantastic car. It's great to learn a few bits and pieces from you about maintenance and improvement. All the best to you.

Great video James! Thoroughly enjoyed watching it and the plastics came up very very well

Nice seats!!!, I just put mk4 leather Recaros into mine also glad to see the Astra videos have returned

Smashing the content out lately and seem to be enjoying more now aswell!! Keep up the good work 👏 👍

Love this .... I recently did the recaro swap on my mondeo St used your video as reference, completely transforms the car , a lot of love for the Astra to I used to own a zaf gsi in Arden blue

Great content! Been watching for a few years now! I do miss the mondeo st! Was actually yourself who made me go and get one myself and was a dream come true at the age of 21! Also done the boost gauge exactly the same way as you did! Keep up the good work bud!✌️

Looks great James! New seats totally changes a car. Best thing I did to my Passat was fit half leather heated seats.

Love a mk4 Astra! Blue stitching on the handbrake and gear surround. Thinking silver console to match the gear knob! Excellent video like the old days!

Shorts ✔ the cold doesn't faze James 🤧

Nice job on the interior refurb James, clever work around on the seat wiring.

Great video, these are the best Astra’s !

Done yourself proud there James, lovely job very dapper 👌 great content keep up the great work and stay safe brother 👊

Look brilliant great bit of perseverance in getting the seat. Top Job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Finished my Fiesta's engine bay in the summer using Yum Dress. Use VERY sparingly but it is good on plastics you dont need to touch very often. Quite glossy, but feels ultra shiny. Hard to describe. I've no doubt it'll be great on tyres from my usage on plastics so far. I like their products. Lemon air freshener is one of my favourite car things of any type from any brand. And I completely get the whole seat thing!

Looks great! I especially like the mk4 content, great stuff.

Seats look mint 👌 I am a huge fan of them tbf 🔥 loving the content man keep it coming 👍

Well done James the astra looks 👌👌

Personally I think the standard engine is fine, it's great that u rebuilt it just keep it clean and tidy and enjoy it.👍

Looks awesome pal, well done

Even if your not a fan of vauxhall's any serious DIY car has to acknowledgeabd own that your astra looks clean! Good job James mate.

Good too see the Astra back :) should do a wrap on the roof for next mod. Get some good hexis wrap for 30 quid delivered on ebay.

Looks very good, I thit the same thing with my BMW full leather. It is always very satisfying when you have done it yourself. The centerconsole, change it back to stock black, or in the color of the car.

Excellent video James, take care buddy.

Great video again james I could see how pleased you were with the look of the astra mate ...I like the astra gte mk1 great looking car

Astra looks mint! For me, Mk4 is the best looking Astra of all generations before and after.

wow definitely gonna try that with my seat belt buckles now Thankx mate 👍nice to learn things from your videos

They look mint, well worth installing them 👍🏻

Seats look sick 🔥🔥

Super all episodes, good job!

Nice roof spoiler, an change cluster dials to white with blue led bulbs really stand out with blue on seats an as u said blue stitching on handbrake an gearstick gaitor, keep up da videos really enjoying dem,,.👍 Fin in Ireland 🇮🇪

Hey, man you are doing great, I follow your work (hobby), since the beginning. Keep up the good work, and some advice, you can think for upgrading the side mirrors from manual to electric, it's really easy and straight forward procedure.😉

Good work James !

Great upgrade!

Same for most rear seats, they need to be in the car and in the right position in order to release the seatbelts. I found this out in my VRS when doing a full detail clean and panicked like hell!

Great videos James keep up the good work

Sets the interior off well 👌 looks well tidy nice video content too 👍 stay safe James 👍 🍺

That looks really nice, good job :)

They look fantastic, just ordered yumcars interior cleaner, using your discount code, many thanks.

Ordered 2 lots if Yum Dress, one as an xmas gift, the other for me! Cheers for the discount code, have a great Christmas, jon

Great content again... the only thing with them seat it's the Mark's/ slight tears on front seats I'd have to get then sorted...little mod led rear registration plate lights.

Satisfyingly good video as always.

I would like to see you finish that fiesta!!!

Superb Upgrade Jimmy boy......Looks Great. Baz.

Just on a quick note. Your spare wheel is a 4 stud and your alloys are 5 stud . I watched the conversion videos you did . Keep up the good work pal love the videos

Great video as always 👍🤟

Hi from Brazil. The same thing happened to me when I washed my Astra rear seats. The center rear seat belt got stuck, but went back to normal. Astra CD 2.0 16v

Looks great mate

imo you should keep these backlights great vid tho! lovin the content recently!

Nice work mate! Peace from melbourne

Great video love this car I would now to finnish the interior of would a nice arm rest and some vauxhall seat belt covers great video 👍👍

Not much more you can do to that car now without spoiling it. Looks bloody superb currently dude! 😎😎👌🏼

Great looking upgrade

Must admit My MK4 SRI Turbo is still the scariest car ive ever owned. It had the full GSI interior and i agree totally about the seats they are awesome! Have a look at a Z20LET Conversion. You wont regret it.

My favourite channel.

Brilliant video as always the astra is my favourite car of your collection would like to see you do coilovers and Poly bush it 👌

Bit late commenting as I’m behind on your vids James, I really love where this car has ended up from what it started as on the channel,I honestly think it’s hard choice between these and mk4 golf as my favourite car,love to see an engine swap in this but as you say it’s pricey, great content James you also seem very happy in your content making recently

I’m the same with my clio! Little sport parts here and there all add up

i use the old matts to kneel on when working on cars :) so ideal for you

Bought this yum cars dress. 10/10. Top quality. Stuff

Nice 👍🏻 seats set it right of definitely getting some of that yum

Nice up grades. These seats are nice too.

Seat belts have a mechanical device in them that tells them if the car is on four wheels(upright) and lock if it is not hence the rear seat belt locking when you tested it. Good video

Just brought some yum car care kit on your advice thanks

New springs and bigger discs in the front mate 👍

The seats look really great! What iwould like you to do if you can is fix that crease in the rear nearside body panel😊

Fire mate 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

lovely video dude.

Seatbelts lock when at a certain angle which must be a safety feature. I think it's something like 45 degrees.

Great video. Would be good to see you install and nice sound system as everyone has to have good sounds in their car.

I’ve had a silver rep yrs ago and also 2 Arden blue gsi bar far my best car U need the original center console for sure

nice job there mate they look really nice sets the car off mate

Lots more content lately. Thanks.

I have a good idea what you are feeling.. I am on the lookout for some peugeot 207 RC seats for my car.. I trully love them!! :D

Looking good 😎 was wondering have you got any videos on water problems inside car . I have water in passenger side front and rear floor and have no idea where it’s coming from 😩

So much better, good job, 😁👍

Your videos are very interesting.waiting for new Škoda video ✌️

Move some cars around so you can do an engine swap on the astre + the bumper and the lights and the interior bits you mentioned,some suspension work,the end result will be amazing 👍👍🤩🤩

Interior looks great man 🙂 z20let conversion coming... ? Great tip with the seat belt red buttons too 👍

Deffo blue stitching and black as main colour on the gaitors!

Seat belts have gravity device to lock the belt with impact. Also if the car rolls, the belts will lock.. great vids.

👍 well done. A little repair to the seats would work wonders.

Might be worth checking if the seat frames are the same as the SXI seats? Could swap all the foam and covers onto the tilting frames.

Looks good

Some nice leather door cards next? Get some touch up pen on the drivers edge. Also, you can use heat gun or steamer to remove slack from the leather and make tight again, some good vids on here showing how to

You could fit italian leather handbrake & gearlever gaitors james. Aaron unknown on youtube got them somewhere. They looked real good. Not sure where he got them from. Carbon fibre effect for centre of the dash with triple gauge conversion. Smoked wind deflectors. Twin irmscher exhaust.

Great video! Make me want to do a full clean and detail on my car! :)

You can make the airbags to work open up your seats from the back and just swap de wires from there that end is the same in a mk4 & 5

I can only imagine the dirt stuck under that spare tyre!!! You must remove and hoover that too James lol. I know, I know 😁👍

good lil vid

I think if you done the roof liner and pillars plastic in black would be nice touch for the interior

Think you have to find the correct gsi bumpers for it now and all the other little gsi bits, leave the engine alone until you’ve finished all the other bits and then make a decision on whether to swap it or not 👍🏻

The gsi seats make a huge difference fair play for future videos maybe change the front bumper and rear for gsi and maybe v6 it further down the line

Paint central consol in silver to match car paint I did that on my astra and it is amazing

i think black back lights are great on your astra!! i have also black smoked back lights in my astra, also i think irmscher lights are better voor the look you have
