Not had a car since December, was going to buy a 5 door new astra but i thought im only 19 and it was a bit early for the tartan rug and sunday picnics. Picked this up yesterday:

Full service history
44k
new turbo, cambelt blah blah
good condition, couple of stonechips but hey ho!

Love it to bits!!!! Only plan is an Irmscher grille then leave it at that. What do you guys think?

Looks just like mine when I picked it up from Manchester

Looks good, you'll get bitten by the boost bug and that plans for only a grill will change

car is staying standard, had enough of modded cars. Bought this car because its made to go fast and handle well out the box.

Power is good LOL! better than a 1.6 sport anyway, petrol is ooook but cruise control is your best friend.

Even if the car has been treated properly? i.e. not driven hard from cold, and driven hard all of the time?
