Hi m8 i also am the proud owner of 1 of these beauties, but mine is the 20.litre 16v, but i must say your rado is bloody fantastic.
Mine is pearl green, and i love it, but i have lots of plans for it mainly changing the colour altogether (dove grey) iam thinking, i have seen this at the worhtersee show and it looked awesome.
All i want to say is good luck as your car is great

Not sure, think the back box is just a cheap Halfords job.
Will be changing it for a Magnex as soon as can afford
i used to have one too, its worth looking in to getting a powerflow exhaust custom built, no rattles choose your sound and tail pipe, from cat back it cost me 300 quid oh and it comes with a lifetime guarantee!! just search it on the web to find your local franchise.

Looks nice Adam - did you used to post on EVO forum and have an Astra GSi (recognize the user name as similar)?

Indeed I did.
I joined the EVO forum but didnt stay on it for very long, couldnt get used to it.
Wish I hadnt sold the GSI, should have kept it and turned it into a track car

Thought I recognized the name!

I too wish I'd never sold my Astra 16 valver....although mine was a Mk2 not a Mk3 like you had

They look too big on that last rado - 17's are the way forward : )

i'd advise against a powerflow too, miltek are amazing quality, fit and they're not too loud.

Did these wheels ruin the ride?

Theyre just about the same size as the wheels he has on at the min, maybe the style of the make them look bigger, theyre just polo gti wheels made bigger to match the size of wheel you have on already adz.

Some better recent pics





Since I last updated I have fitted:
M3 style rear lights
S2000 style stubby aerial
Clear side repeaters
German style pressed metal plates
Nice carpet mats
Had a full service done
Aero wipers have arrived but not fitted yet

Need new exhaust soon and then 90mm front spoiler, some better rims and coilovers
