which is fair enough. i like the 3 dr astras and might own one in few years time, just not the 5dr.

Very nice - could have put some tyre shine on though
I actually prefer this shape Astra in 5 door to 3 door
Gearknob for 65k is surprisingly worn?!

Well i had ran out of auto glym tyre shine, so the tyres resulted in tescos tyre shine
As for the gear knob, i was worried about that when i was buying the car thinking that it maybe clocked, however the mileage was back up by old mots and service history stamps.

Not a fan of black ones or pre facelift ones but there great cars. I'd be tempted to sell my DTUK box if your interested. I never drive the car and my other half couldn't care less if it was quick.

Well that is an idea, but i have never seen if will actually make it lower.
Kano, thanks but not sure if it will fit as my astra is only a 1.7 cdti not a 1.9 cdti 150.

Nice mate, i do prefer the 3 doors but im am biased. I have the Eco 2 box and it makes a massive difference but notsure about the 1.7.
I also have some sportline's in the boot ready to fit this weekend, i think the VXR springs will lower it around 20mm IIRC.
Also, mine has done similar miles and the gear stick is not worn in the slightest.

I agree with Rich on this,i prefer the 5dr version with the XP kit on rather than the 3dr version.

the last 'Too' should be 'to'.
no big deal
like your astra mate, they look better in 5 doors than 3 door i think.
