"Kiss my Astra"

Hmm, apart from that, nice. It'd paint the chrome strip on the boot if it was my motor to make perfect. It's the only bit of that design that I don't like.

How about: "Astra la vista", guess it depends how quick your car is.

It isn't. It's a 1.6.

Have you actually been to the ring? If not take the ring sticker off. The other stickers look alright though.

You did well to avoid those trees when you skidded off the road onto the grass wink

I think it looked better without the stickers.

I like that shape Astra. You can get them in that shape with the 2 litre turbo here in Australia...I <think> you guys got it as the Sport 200 or something?

I test drove one a while back and was seriously tempted...200BHP, nice torque and a very well equipped interior but the price is just a touch higher than I thought it was worth.

Still, very nice car you have there!

Very tidy car but just one thing.

You say it's a 1.6 yet you seem to have gone out of your way to make it look like a VXR and now the Nurburg special edition.

Just don't really see why to be honest.

Nah we have that as the HSV VXR Astra...with a mish mash of Opel, Holden and VXR badges biggrin

We get an SRI Turbo Coupe: http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/modelov...

I always assumed it was a european model but maybe its from the USA...I know they have it there as something else.
