Astra looks cool, I'd swap the sideskirts for some off a coupe, They are a straight swap and are near as damn it the same as the GSI.

5 stud conversions are a peice of piss to do, Theres a guide online somewhere, Go on AOC and look for a user called turbochris, think he comes on here, He does all of the GSI and coupe spares, top bloke and really good service!

Looking at this makes me want to do another mk4 astra up, enjoyed working on mine just a shame i got fed up with it very quickly!

Have a look at my project thread on here at mine, Might give you some Ideas for yours!
