Think everyone goes through there kitted cars stage....thankfully mine wasnt too painfull - Fast standard motors where its at for me, I would not own a modded car now
Your Astras very nice but yes it will lack on the traction with all that power going to front wheels and iirc there a bit quirky round the bends

So you have changed the wheels, exhaust, and now the spoiler?

But your going to change the exhaust and the parts you have fitted didnt come on your car as standard.

Dont worry about insurance it will drop soon! I only pay £800 on mine now!
Have you got any mods planned? First thing Id do if I were you would be to get a boost gauge, a knocklink and a few bottles of Nitrous formula octane booster! I would def run octane booster if i were you!
