DTM Opel Astra V8 Coupe 2001

The new DTM Mercedes 2001 motivated me to make missing skins for the Opel Astra.
The three skins are not 100% accurate, for three reasons.
1. The model is not correct for 2001, I used the Astra V8 2000 mod from Tolik.
2. For me, the template was difficult to edit because
3. I am a painting beginner.
I hope you enjoy the skins anyway.
The classes lines work with the mod of tolik and DTM_2001

Thank you

Bravo, very good work..

Well done...

Thank you

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you

Fantastic job! Delete the point 3

Thank you!

EDIT 1:
My intention was to ask (after the release of every clk skin) which opel and audi skins are available. Do we need more opels? Do we have every entry from 2000 and 2001?

EDIT 2:
The only difference between 2000 and 2001 opel is the rear wing. Am I wrong?

Yes, more Opel skins are needed. With Tolik's mod only the Holzer Astras (#3 and #4) are mssing for 2000. For 2001, thanks to straightsix and to Tolik's mod, there's only 4 Astras missing. (#3 Holzer, #4 Holzer, #7 Phoenix, #17 Euroteam) And also yes the only major difference was the rear wing. It came out more on the 2001 car, in comparison to the smaller but upright wing used for 2000.

Well done, Andreas. Fantastic job.

You can find the #17 skin at Racedepartment,
it's for AC, but easy to convert. Creating a car file and rename 2 dds files
is all you have to do.

Sorry you're wrong. It's not only the rear wing.
A few side panels are different, that's the reason why for example the Kessel Logo
(#11 is a 2001 modell) is wrong placed. I noticed these differences only when painting.
The numbers 17 and 20 were 2000-Astras used in 2001.

Another 2000 modell in 2001 was the #8 Yves Olivier.
It seems to be the old Reuter car from 2000, nearly same livery without "Opel Service".

I wanted to make these skins for the Opel, but time didn't permit me to do that, thank you very much for your contribution!!

Thank you Andreas

Time is also my problem. I'm very slow in painting and for the next weeks
i'm busy in a another (physics) project. But i am sure, together with these famous
modders and painters here we can finish that someday.

Btw, thanks for all compliments.

Next two Astras.
#8 Yves Olivier, painted by me, the base was the Reuter skin by tolik.
#17 full credits to spagna at Racedepartment for this good looking skin.
I just renamed the dds files.
