Ok well bought myself a bit of a random motor.. saw this advertised on here and decided it was mine, so went and picked it up last night.
I've debadged it and put fresh plates on it this morning so time for some pre slammage pics..
Its a 2.0 16v Sport so goes very well for what it is.. quite chuffed with it just trying to decide whether its worth lowering and attempting to make it look cool or just drive it the way it is..
Comments welcome

Lowering and wheels would make it much better yes 
Depends weather you wanna spend the cash really.
Astra's are pretty cars, estates would need some kind of tints IMO

Well I have the chance at a full 5 stud setup and cav turbo wheels for cheap from a mate so that would sort it out wheel wise, and I have a set of 60mm corsa springs to turf on. Its not really the money because I'll only have to spend about 200 quid to get it looking how I'd want..
I agree about the tints, will be something I'll do if I decide to mod it..

Looks in mint condition - doesn't look like a stereotypical Astra estate i.e. white, filthy & a dirty diesel.
