Newbie here!
Hey, names Marcus, some of you may know me as Cardi's (Cardibreza) other half. Thought I would join up now so I dont keep using Cardi's account.

I own a Mk3 VW Golf in Red, done a few things to it.. but now with having a baby on the way im thinking of going Vauxhall. So.... maybe going down the Astra G Estate route.

I have had a look about and seen a couple at good prices but wanted some opinions on places to look and sorts of prices to look for, obviously I will be selling my Golf to help fund it and save a bit each month to get one at a decent price.. (as long as its not falling apart)

Got some sort of ideas I would like to do with one, but would like some thoughts and opinions on modding one subtly and keeping it child friendly.

Hope to hear your thoughts and opinions

I know Lou but didn't wanna crash cardi's party, but she's getting sick of me always logging on and checking things out.

well been looking at a 1.7 CDTI astra g Estate, nothing too OTT but thinking of GSI front bumper, side skirts, 40mm drop, nice set of alloys, angel eyes, and just a little lip spoiler. but open to ideas and views, just gotta get saving now

Not really sure to be honest, rather not black or white, if i had the money i'd have it re-sprayed in arden blue, don't think you'd see many astra g estates in that colour
