Fancied a change, found a 1 owner from new mk4 astra GSi. Spax Coilovers, Courtenay Cooler, Courtenay stage 2 map, Cobra Cat back, EBC red stuffs in the front. Coupe turbo wheels which will go eventually.

Some pics... couple of small bodywork issues to sort but as a whole its clean

That looks mint! Love the colour of saphire black! Love the pop/flake it has in it which you never really see unless a cars kept clean! Nice buy!

Are you going to be replacing the coupe alloys with the original snowflakes?

You don't really seem to see alot of black gsi's? Are they rarer than Arden because there were less made or something?

Gave the car its first wash, polish, clay bar, polish, wax.

Loving the outcome the pop on sapphire black paint is immense in the sun!

The mark on the rear arch lets the car down
