Another car for me  I have always like the astra VXR and getting to the age of cheaper insurance, wanting comfort and the looks.....  I missed out on one as a trade in through work a couple of months ago and i was pissed to say the least....
But I'm really glad I didn't buy it now because i heard this was coming in a couple of weeks ago and without even seeing it i payed a deposit lmao
As soon as it come in i was glad i did, its not scratched (as i seen yet) no car park dents, always been kept in a garage, HPI clear No scratched wheels, still on original tyres (fronts getting low 3mm) full Vauxhall service history ( 4 stamps )
So on to the car:
A little picture to show the mileage first:
And some really crap pictures from last night
Not bad either....
I'm not the best at the spec on these but from what I can work out its got the 19's and cruise which are the only two options....
So all in all i'm over the moon, wanted one since release and now I couln't ask for a tidier one and it even smells like new inside.....
And yes it is really coming up to 5 years old with that mileage.... lmao

19" wheels may have something to do with it.

You need some proper brakes on it, like mine but better versions.
Good buy tho.

Engine is like new, I'm going to try and give my bay a proper clean up soon.
Get yourself some 18's mate, the difference is crazy.
Oh and a Remus ...

Stunning car mate. The Remus is good but I hate the look of the tail pipe lol, preferred the miltek tail myself. Get the handling sorted first before you go near the engine. It'll be worth the wait. Eibachs or Dap springs, whiteline RARB jobs a good un. Also get the exhaust done before the map as well.
