Well considering i've been on this forum since February and have made a few changes to the Astra, i thought it time to do a progress thread. I don't have photos for everything but for what i do, i'll post here.

So 2015 came and i'd grown tired of my old car, so after 4yrs of ownership and 50k miles i wanted a change so the hunt began. At first i'd settled on a 1.6 Titanium X Focus, however the price tag meant that it just wasn't feasible at that time so i started looking elsewhere for something

This is how my Astra 1.7CDTI looked when I first got it. (only changed the antenna)

Hi All,

I recently brought a 12 Plate 2.0 CDTi Astra J, and its great to have found a dedicated forum, with lots of knowledge on retro fitting, and modifying for when I inevitably get stuck


Mods to the car so far:
Full rear de badge, including rear badge with bulge removed and re-sprayed.
Sub woofer - First thing I put in any car
After market fascia adapter (Still using a single din at the moment so looks a bit tacky)

So I've been here long enough and I've not even done a progress thread!

The model I went for was the Vx-Line 2.0cdti SRi in white which I got mid 2015 and I fell in love with it instantly despite not having any extras on it except for parking sensors.

The day I got it:

Hi everyone, I've been on this forum quite a bit recently so thought I would put some photos and info on of my car.

I have the 5 door SRi 2.0 CDTI 165 Automatic with front and rear parking sensors.

Was surprised to find the rear windows are manual! Thought they were a thing left in the 2000s.

All my 'mods' so far are electronic.

Complete-
H7 Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs for Low Beam
LED number plate lights
LED DRLs/Sidelights (Epistar Projector with CK Pinout)
LED Interior Lights

New to the site but thought I would start progress thread as have couple plans since getting my Astra Elite 1.4 turbo on Saturday.

Looking at doing the following:

DTUK FSR Tuning Box
Pedal Box
Wind deflectors
K&N air filter
Sport pedals
Window tints
Possible black roof wrap with wing mirrors
Alloys changed to Black

This is how currently stands from picking up

I've owned this car for a year now so thought I would put together a thread of the mods I've done to it.

Before I went shopping for the astra, I test drove the new civic 1.6 diesel. The ride was better than the previous generation but still pretty poor.

The 1.6 motor was OK but I didn't think there was enough power to keep me interested very long.

Other cars I were interested in was the focus 2.0 zetec S and the seat Leon FR 150. Both of them
