Hi All,

In this original post there are a few of the original mods that I carried out on the car but due to the limitations of the forum I was/am unable to update this post with all of the other mods I carried out (and am still carrying out). So I have had to create new replies throughout the progress thread for each different mod...Please have a browse through the thread to find them all

Also a list of ALL mods I have carried out is on post 408 (link below). I will update this with TEXT o

Hi guys,

New to the forum, been looking for a dedicated J forum & finally found one!

I sold my Vectra, had an Astra J for a short time and then got a BMW which I had for almost a year.. Kinda missed the Astra from day one but stuck with it.

With service and MOT time looming I decided it was time for a change.


I managed to find a garage with the right spec car and managed to get a straight swap for my 2009 BMW 320D for this 2010 Astra SRI CDTI. My BMW was worth a fraction more but I'm more

Here's the replacement to the Blue Beast.

Thought I'd do one..... It's not going to be quite on the same level as some of the other cars on here but to me, buying and hanging a little tree air freshener is an upgrade......


So I bought an Astra 1.6 SRI

First thing I wanted to do was change the alloys so I bought the diamond cut ones you see on GTC's, BiTurbos and Zafira Tourers.
