Well I thought i would post some pics of my new Astra......new to me anyway.

after my last one met with a sad demise.

i got another Astra 2.0 SRI CDTI 2011

came as standard with CD500 Nav, DAB, Bluetooth and front and rear parking sensors in what I think is a nice colour.

have upgraded the Nav to a Navi900 and DAB+ and added reverse camera

next step was auto wipers and lights which is now complete although im not happy with the gel pad as its got some bubbles.

just awaiting led and i will do DPF light plus have some lights for doing footwell coming.

as I'm out of work at the moment that's where its stopping.......for now

the next stage after funds rebuilt up is rear electric windows





NAVI950 , DAB+ & Rear Camera , quick heat, auto lights and rain sensor retrofit

Looks very nice. Need put some 19" wheels on, the ones that were an optional extra. Would make it really rare looking. I might be bias as there the wheels I have on mine!

im not as young as i was and i think i would find 19s a bit harsh ride, the sri suspension is hard enough already for me lol

i did think about elite/se shocks with sri spring but that might be 1 step too far

Very true! I think I'm just use the the harsher ride, all the cars I have had have been sport variations with stiffer springs and bigger alloys. When I got the astra I thin the wife thought it would be a softer ride than my BMW 320d msport before. She was disappointed after going out in this, haha.

I must say I prefer a softer ride myself.

Motorway is fine with a stiffer ride but round town with the state of the roads no thank-you....
