Got myself a new car, after selling the 306. Bought an 2002 52 Astra, its in pretty mint condition, a few dings, but thats about it. Got full service history etc, and i'm only the 2nd owner, which is a bonus, imo. Paid just over £2k for it, which is a pretty good price I think...

Here is some pics.







Got a few plans: -

Astra VXR reps - If i can find somewhere which sells 4x100 to 5x110 pcd adapters. If not ill be getting some kei force 10's
Coilovers
GSi spoiler

and thats it

Small Update -

Fitted a badgeless grille last week, and then added the "i" logo yesterday. I like it alot better than the standard grille.



Next up is some new wheels..

Update: - Not done anything major to the car yet, bar a badgeless grille, so thought I better buy some stuff.

I got a genuine Irmscher spoiler, its got a few scratches so going to get it repaired and on the car ASAP.

Also bought some coilovers, only some cheap 1's, but lots of people on AOC have bought them and have had no problems with the atall, so for £140 inc delivery I'll take a gamble.

but the astra ones are £169 + postage..

so find the ones for a corsa (most probly same guy/place) and make him an offer with the (make offer button), and im sure you could get the ones for a corsa the same price as this guy has for his astra...

sorry about adding this to your project thread dude..
