as said in the title really. i'm looking at a 1.8 astra hatchback for my next car (98-04 shape) and was just wondering if anyones got any pictures of good looking ones. preferably inside and out if possible.
also as a sidepoint, anyone know why there so cheap to insure? i got quoted £1100 fully comp with 1yr NCB at 19 on a 1.8cd. seems crazy, was quoted more on a 1.6 golf.

That's not standard SRi kit on an S plate, it was an option.
It wasn't standard in 2002 even, but it was on the very last ones.

Gavin mate, that car looks spot on. Doesn't seem to take much to really set off the astras does it.
