Went and purchased this in March this year as my old Astra wouldn't have made it through its next MOT. (Heres a quick pic of the Astra)

So i went and purchased the Is, Passed it for a week at a dealer on my way home form work and after debating for the full week weather to get it or not, I just went in, Test drove it and knew I had to have it.

[Image: PICT0030.JPG]

Came with 42,000 miles on the clock, Full service history, Full leather and just had a new set of tyres!

Unfortunately after only a week of having the car, Someone accidently reversed into it on a car park Confusedad:

Know its only small, But its one of the things that make me annoyed (I like my cars to be as spotless as possable!)

After having it a month i went to buy a k&n panel filter, But after giving it a good service i seen it already had one fitted!

Only mods have been a full set of mintex pads, Grom audio ipod lead, A VW Polo aeriel mast (Off a 2010 car), a set of roof bars and cycle carriers (That I take off when it isn't used!) and red painted brake calipers!

[Image: IMAG0022.jpg]

Things to do are to get the bits on the bodywork sorted (Front bumper, rear bumper and bonnet resprayed) and Refurb the alloys as the previous owner made a mess of them!

Just stuck for ideas on what to do, Trying to keep it as OEM and as subtle as possable!

Nice and tidy mate.

Not fancy changing the bumpers if your spraying them?

Been tempted by one, Only thing is they appear when i have no money to spare!

I was a little dubious about the mileage, But checked it out on the MOT website and in the service history and all is well!

Small mod done today, A flip key!

Ordered off ebay from japan, took a couple of weeks to turn up but worth the wait.

Took it along to the local key cutting place and now it works perfect, Not bad for £20 all in!
