Got my Sportive 1.7Dti this week have got some good modding ideas in mind going to keep it nice and subtle though nothing OTT. Going to try my speedlines but not sure weather they will "fill the gap" enough if u know what i mean, but im thinking about a 40 or 60mm drop.. does the hatchback lowering kit fit? or does anyone know what vaux kits fit the van? many thanks

If you can get springs for an Astra estate they will fit. I doubt the hatch ones will.
