Yes but that wasn't my major complaint. It was far too hard - my fault, bad choice of damper, the wheels caught, it rattled and squeaked, the power delivery was all over the place and it was generally showing the signs of five years ownership.

What shocks did you use? I had standards with eibacks and allthough it crashed a bit over bumps it was still quite refined.

No just metal roof sections, you can't get a sunroof on Astras. I think Megane you can and possibly some others.

Why is the roof a circus and why will the engine blow up Ian?
Best number plate ever. Still makes me grin.

My brothers just got rid of a cdti twintop which he had on lease, think his was design+ or something with full leathers etc. Really nice cars imo and yours looks well in black, didn't even realise they did a 2.0 turbo twintop.
