How it looked when after i had it about 2 months,


Then i was gonna get a kit


How it looks the now .

Should i strip the interior , stick a cage in buckets , nice 15" , etc , tune the engine (1.4 16v)

or

put on a subtle kit like gsi kit or irmsher (sp) airdam front and back bumpers with nice set of 16"s , maybe leather interior and decent sounds?

Which direction should i go? opinions please.

Cav GSi wheels look good on a mk3 Astra, don't go very well on a Corsa, MM wheels look great, 14" GSi rims are no better than steelies.

Depends what you want - looks or performance?

Go for 15" rims, cheap as chips, and won't adversely affect suspension/braking components like bigger rims would.

got an alarm? if not get that first!!
all white gsi's look shit hot - go for that front bumper - someone is selling one for £50 in parts offered. 15's always look good with the gsi kit too. Get rid of that red stripe down the side. Then tune away, someone on here(forgot who sorry!) is running 136bhp from 1.4 16v!!

well thats what i would od anyway

they are quite nippy, can almost keep up with my 1.6 16v sport (standard block) until about 40mph then leave it...but nippy little engines but ya will need to spend muhco £££ to get 136bhp... they got about 90-95bhp standard , yep?

yeah 90bhp std , would rather just spend some cash tuning the 1.4 cos every 1 is going 2ltr way , i want mine to be good handleing and fairly quick from small block , i kept up with a 2lt nova in the twisties , but i think that was due to the nova driver being shit was fun though

Ultimately which direction you go depends on what you want to do with it. Examples of GSi and Airdam are both in my garage, failing that make it look like a proper thing
