Well I sold it on to a good friend about 3 months ago and bought myself a MK4 Astra coupe, I wanted one for some time and I finally got one.
2004, 1.8 16v, 71k mileage, few extras (parking sensors, 308mm brake setup, Astra turbo alloys and Irmscher rear spats)
Only paid £1550 for it which I think is a good price for the age and condition it's in.

They're the pictures off the for sale ad, When I finally got it home.

The first thing I did was take the horrible number plates off and buy a irmscher rep grille.
Within 3 days off owning the car I was fed up of it feeling like a boat around corners, so I bought some coilovers and lowered it.

Couple of pictures of it lowered with the new grille and number plates.

Pretty soon after lowering it I wanted some new wheels, so owning the car about a week I bought these.

Dare motorsport LP560 (Rotiform BLQ reps) 18" x 8J ET42, fitted 205/35/18 nankang NS20 tyres costing me £300 alone :(
Got them fitted on the car straight away.

Fell in love with them and loved the car so much! but I always wanted a GSi steering wheel as the standard coupe ones are really boring.

After a month or so I thought the front end looks abit plain and boring so I bought a prodrive front bumper and Opel OPC grille, got the bumper painted and on.

Also bought a sportex cat back system around the same time, Got that fitted but the back has never sat right.
so I'm looking to change that soon.

The most recent mod I've done is a stainless steel 4 into 1 decat manifold,
