What should I do with it??

I'm undecided whether to strip the interior out of it, or just keep it nice & tidy inside, new stereo, bit of ICE (not OTT), some nice 15's and lower it. No bodykits...

Also toying with either swapping the 1.6 for a 2ltr XE, or tune the 1.6 a bit (lexmaul manifold, cams, exhaust manifold, unichip...)

just dont know

The GSi will be a daily-driver...

16" speedlines is always a good choice, but way to over-done at the moment

i think you should smooth off the boot except the numberplate bit.. colour code EVERYTHING.. Luve(spl) the bonnet and get a transporter wing vent.. Tints and those 16's that are Vauxhall own jobbies.. Then slam it and tune the engine..

imo theres no point getting a gsi and kitting it out . if u want 2 kit out 1.6 get a sport and do it
keep the gsi looking standard apart from a set of wheels and tune the engine

coilovers 16's or 17's (not fecking speedlines, as this is not modifying, just making it look like everyone else, although they are yummy )

Subtle exhaust and 2 L...................

lovely!

Every feka has speedlines!

Well decided...

De-lock, dehandle the doors & boot... Keep the recess for the plate tho. Set of 15's (maybe tornado's again, as there pretty nice as it is!), 60mm drop. No other changes exterior wise, no lourves, no vents, nothing.. Not even morettes...

Single 2" or 2.5" stainless exhaust, and then some leathers inside from a cally t, little bit of color-coding (nothing OTT), good stereo, sorted
