Took some nice shots of the Astra

[steven.m]

Spent a bit of time detailing the Astra and since it was a nice day took it for a drive and got some pics. Hope you likey.

KISS MY ASS'TRA

Is this the model that MOFO should have bought instead of his one ??

Nice looking family car, not my thing but hey ho.

 

[steven.m]

Yeah this is what MOFO should have got. And yes, its a 150 model, soon to be 200

Great pics - love the car (the scenery is chilled too)

Nice car, if im honest I prefer the Sporthatch but those wheels are lovely, 18's are a must.
What sort of performance are you anticipating when its mapped?

 

[steven.m]

Sporthatch is too cramped inside and reversing is like looking out a letter box, does handle a bit better though. And 18s are a must!

Should be getting 200bhp and 320lbs/ft.

Fancy getting it lowered on Eibach springs and a Simota IK too. Probably leave it at that.

Ahh, Vauxhall Astray Looks good fella. Love those alloys, smart looking car.

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice

PMSL @ mofo!!

I like these a lot, its just the interior that lets them down imo.

I can't quite put my finger on why I feel this, and I don't like saying it either, but there's always been something that's struck me as inherently right in the look of these Astras.

Very nice.

 

[GarethM]

nice pics

 

[.GAZ.]

where's the cs sticker lmao!!

 

[Andy.]

I like them. Rented one a while ago and they are nice to drive too.

Looking good!

Nice looking car and the alloys are nice for standard stuff

Remove the window sticker so you dont look like a knob

Probably better then a Clio However its not the most ergonomically sound design that I've seen. The heater controls are awkwardly low down on the centre console and my sat nav connection sticks out and up infront of the heater selection knob which further reduces ease of use. I might get a pic of this to highlight just how awkward it is. Although I'd say the overall construction and build quality is good and everything feels quite solid.

So far I'd say the ride quality is good too although perhaps my Dad's Golf is better for the long haul drives on the motorway. Power delivery is smoother than my Dad's Golf, and feels a bit torquier.

Looks good bud, would have prefered it in 3 door though

Nice bus!

200bhp and 320lbft, that'll be a f**king flying machine. What does your Astra weigh?

I'm more interested in improving my suspension before upping the power: I'm currently at 160bhp/243lbft in a car weighing just under 1200kg, and that's plenty at the moment...
