The lights thing? Didn't you buy it like that?
I went from a vauxhall's to a scooby a year ago and unless someone holds a gun to my head I'm never going back.

I really like the look of the astra and the way it sits, was it a turbo'd one?
The lights came on the classic and I believe he's going to change them

Not bad
Standard rear lights and standard vents will look better though

Lose the stupid large scoop, doesn't suit the newage cars, nevermind a classic.

+1 looks daft and out of place,wheels aren't very nice either especially in white and the rear lights must be replaced asap other than that it looks ok

Congratulations
I used to be a vauxhall man but gave up on them back in 2003 after spending a bloody fortune on my gsi only for it to blow up .

Both cars look well....how do you find the Impreza compared to the Astra.
My Astra was a 1.6 16V so the step up to an STi was immense and i'm still smiling nearly 4 years on.

Are you blind
It suits the newage perfect, as long as it`s on an STI
Maybe you`re an "STI wannabe"

cheers for all the comments guys n gals, the scoop is staying, i can't afford to replace it. The STi stickers are going, but the front badge is staying as i think it looks cool.
The scooby is completely different to drive compared to the Astra, in a straight line its all the same, its all different when cornering as you'd expect.
the lights are going as soon as its got its german mot sorted out.
