So the Ibiza is gone, and here is it's replacement:

And the 'money shot':

It's a 1.8 Astra Cab Linea Rossa.

And here is my Dad's new car:

It's a Jaguar X-Type 2.0D Sport.

My Dad used the Ibiza as a P/X for the Jag and I got the Astra, formerly his, as a replacement. Good times

The Astra is dying for a clean! Only got a few plans at the moment. Badgeless grille, lower it 30mm, and change the CD Player.

Why does it look like something heavy has been dropped on the roof of the astra?

Yeah. It's got different interior and the wheels. I think. Not really sure. All I know is not many were made.

Nice that nath, how much did you give for it? The 1.8 is meant to be the one to go for (compared with the 2.2) good choice

BTW ajscorsa, all the kinea rosser's have specially designed sill plates and kits by joe kinear

So is it Linea Rossa, or Kinea Rossa?

I'm guessing Linea going by the kick plate, but you guys have confused me...

Very nice. Did James (off here) coupe in same colour a year or so back - came up nicely.

Mate has a 2.0D Jag X Type, drives really nicely, but just not sure on them personally

Dad used to have the estate version and still never quite figured out what it was I didn't like about them!

Like the Astra. I've got the normal Coupe in 1.8 and I love it.

Not the fastest but a nice drive non the less. Mines a Bertone edition which came with them wheels an all

I'll be keeping it for a few years so might as well make it a little tidier.

It doesnt owe me anything. And I have yet to spend a penny on it. Besides, my plans will set me back £300 tops. Will make a huge difference.
