Good plans Brad 
I'm planning a GSi front for my black coupe with either GSi 17's, Turbo 17's or those BBS CH 18's. Nothing new, a very popular standard/subtle combo, but looks fully ace!

Why is it a let down when compared to some of its peers? The turbos are infinitely nicer than the standard Astras...

Because I think they look cheap inside
Switch gear from corsa etc - not nice

Interesting enough for me, I wouldn't really want to change much. The whole car is fairly honest and boring though. I far prefer having a fast Vauxhall to a slower premium brand at the same money.

true true I just think for the money you pay out the interior could be alot nicer
Felt cheap getting into one after being in mine - just my opinion

No you're right but the TTs are very well engineered in that respect.
