320d Gally.
Thanks guys. Erm I'm not 100% but from what I can remember there was 70 odd worldwide in this colour. Yeah the main colours were silver, black and blue. Red and grey are also rare.
Thanks guys.
Spec of the astra is 240 bhp iirc, can't remember the specifics. Cheers Rob, Gally, I'm defo going to stay silver, they stand out against the deep blue/purple.
Brembo, thanks mate, Paul has went for the BMW as he was fed up of the fuel and tax (higher bracket £500ish)
Cheers guys. The noise is rather special. The video still cancels some of the "true" sound out but it's a pretty good representation I think.
Looking to get it in and detailed properly over the next few weeks, was thinking wheel refurb as well, don't know if I want to go anthracite or stay silver.
Since the weather was decent on Sunday myself and a mate went a run up the Campsies. Just a couple of pics and a quick video. The roads up there are awesome, if not a little (big) bit bumpy, obviously that isn't helped with my ride height lol.
Couple of his Astra GSI

Tim - I love my MK4. It's got everything I need. Can drive it very hard with the utmost of confidence that it will never let go, then you can just cruise about, on the motorway for example is nice and quiet (as quiet as can be considering the miltek) but you have enough power to overtake safely...
Here'd a video of my Mk4 in Germany going up to the ring. Would recommend listening though some decent speakers, otherwise it may sound like its under water. Paul. was driving in this vid. Just to give you an idea of the noise that was blasting through the hills, especally with two of them...
Cheers for the comments guys, but yeah as Paul said, its Indigo Blue not grey, that is just Scottish dirt :D Gaz i did take a couple of vids on the Gopro but the sound didn't work, i might load them up and dub over them. Pictures came out alright considering we were loosing light fast! No bad...
It's a Non-res Milltek mate. Aye they do sound rather insane!
Cheers for the comments, its gets a few funny looks because of the colour haha. Been asked a few times if its a rep lol.
Thought it was about time i gave the golf a few layers of protection, it could do with a full correction detail but its not looking that bad now. Was planning at starting early but had to wait on a delivery before heading down to my workshop to start at 2pm :( Got down there and with typical...
