yes, i do like the pentas on the mk5's


i rented an Insignia out a while back and thought the wash jets was very good, so when i bought the astra i knew i had to fit some. Got them fitted the day after i bought it :lol:

the washer jets are such an improvement over the standard ones. That is the ideal place for iPhone connection, i now got a non-slip mat there to protect the back of my phone too.
the XP Pack was one thing the Astra defo had to have when i was looking, if it didn't have the kit, i didn't even bother to go look at the car, when i was searching for one.



looking good ste :) get it along to some meets lol
Cheers fella, i will do, but you'll have to txt me and let me know when they are, as i can no longer see the NW Region as I'm not a club member now, not sure if you have got my current number, it ends in 557 - if you haven't got that one, let me know and i will give it you



Howdy stranger! I like them in 5 door variant. Very nice :)
i do feel like a stranger on here, i rarely post these days, but i still view the forum often. I prefer the looks of the 5 door over the 3 door, and its more practical with having a 5 year old, he's really happy now too as he has his 'own' door now lol


Nice motor and engine choice!
Thanks Adam :)

i planned to get the late spec rears for it, as i prefer them over the early one's

other plans include
Lower it slightly – around 30mm
Debadged tailgate
Debadged grill – depending on how much the chrome v-grill has rubbed on the front bumper
Remap with a duel map utilising the sport button
Pre cat de-cat

Just got one of these for the missus though it was the sport hatch, I do prefer the 5 door bumpers though! What MPG's you getting?...

not sure on MPG yet, only filled it up once so far and that was when i picked it up, on the trip computer it says average 40mpg, but i have got a heavy right foot
