There can be multiple Doris's ....They could be twin's.
Plans yeah a few .
1. See what can be done about fitting DAB
2. See what can be done about fitting folding mirrors
3. See what can be done about fitting auto dimming rear vision mirror
4. Pep up the performance - maybe
5. See what can be done about fitting front fog lights
6. Interior LED lights
Think that will do for starters.....

Nah - I'm on a budget
RE: The wee beastie - GOKIWI - 23:rd-May-2016
So thinking about things I think I've made a big mistake purchasing Doris - and I accept its probably my own stupid fault. Fail to prepare , prepare to fail and all that.
So my 10 year old Leon came with fog lights, folding mirrors etc , I just assumed the Astra would be similar , Oh well bloody expensive lesson learnt :-).
RE: The wee beastie - andy2174 - 23:rd-May-2016
I totally agree on the Astra's equipment levels..........
Real penny pinching on GM's behalf thats for sure
No electric rear windows on mine, no rear arm rest, no bluetooth, I could go on, but, mine does have interior lighting strip around the transmission tunnel, yeah like thats something I have always wanted !
I get into my wifes £9K (when new) 63 plate Kia Picanto and that has way more standard fit toys
RE: The wee beastie - stigeye - 23:rd-May-2016
My last car was a 57 plate Seat and it had bluetooth, folding mirrors, auto lights & wipers, heated leather seats, front and rear electric windows.

Yea my astra doesn't have much extra's either, Doris seems nice but the picture doesn't do it justice i'm sure, you any other pics of the full car ? lol
