I say change the wheels, there was a black gsi a few years ago at the perry's near me, it had a subtle kit think it was irmy or something, and some other wheels, tinted and lowered and i can remember it looked full ace! it made me want an astra ever since. Current wheels don't suit them as much as others around.

You loose the individuality of the car if you change it, unless its Arden Blue as the only Astra they made in Arden Blue was the GSi.

Don't change the wheels Sam, makes it look like a run of the mill Astra.
Cool
Agree with not changing the wheels. I personally like them as they are

Have a look on Autotrader for Astra GSi's and come back and tell me the same thing.

Nice one. Not too keen on the badge at back though. Prefer the vx220 style 'Turbo' badge at boot handle level.
OJC - GSi prices seem to have picked up again, which is surprising.

God damm it, is it a popular mod the VX220 turbo badge under the GSi badge? I was going to do it on Rachels and remove the "Vauxhall" and "Astra" badge and just have the GSi badge with the small turbo badge offset to it.

Style over Individuality imo. If he wants individuality he can drive around in a funny hat or something. Plus i'm sure when Fear has done with it his astra will have enough individual touches.

Common mod, because it looks so good.
Silver GSI for me would entail a drop on coilovers, and the std wheels sprayed anthracite.
