Ben's 2.0CDTi Ecoflex Se

[ben.]

Evening All,

It's been a couple weeks since I got my Astra and it's time to start a (rather plain probably) progress thread. 

So, I chose the Astra as my previous car (Alfa 159) was rather pricey to run and with even more miles on my commute I thought it was best to downsize to something that just works really. 

It hasn't been the best of starts as I picked it up on Friday 13th (tempting fate here? haha) and by the Monday was in the garage for a leaky boot, rumbling suspension and the door catch was knackered. Once back it was straight into commuting and all was well apart from the leaky boot still not sorted. Today it was back in and they have resealed all the grommets and re sealed the boot floor, so hopefully it's all sorted now. 

Apart from that I'm rather enjoying the car, decent MPG and it feels fairly quick. 

I gather it is a fairly standard Se, half leather, 17 Alloys, Cruise Control, Auto wipers/lights and flex floor. Has an detachable tower fitted but not been given the swan neck for it.

Today was the first chance I had to give it a wash, polish and wax. It has come up nice except the chrome round the window is rather tarnished and I can't seem to sort it.

Anyway, time for a couple pictures to liven up story time.













Got my LED number plate bulbs fitted



Also put some white DRL bulbs but not got any pictures.

Future plans are;

VXR Pedals
New android headunit for bluetooth etc
Possibly 18" alloys

Thanks for reading,

Ben.
