tbh i hated the 2 tone when i bought it, i only bought id because we got it in at work with a failed fuel pump and the guy couldnt afford to fix it. it sat there for a good five months and then i decided to make him a cheeky offer. after a while the colour has grown on me though lol
Colours very nice it's just a shame he couldn't afford to get the top half done as well lol
Is the insurance on it higher being a van, or can you get around the higher cost by demonstrating it's a daily hack or something? Have considered the astra van route for a daily diesel hack, although my pugrot is experiencing epic fails atm and needs fixing asap as it's worth nothing as it is, so doesn't make sense getting rid of it as much as I'm fed up of it :tard:
White wheels work well on the two tone colour
ooh i like! Im selling the Corsa once its been in the bodyshop as Im after an Astra van myself :)

You can get adapters for Porsche rims for these Astra vans too :)

apparently the top half is a subaru pearl, just doesnt show up well on the pics. the bottom half is a volvo colour. looks gorgeous in the sun. insurance is fine for me, £350 for the year with 4yrs no claims
