' A couple of panels have been resprayed over the years and for a original car that's now 16 years old there are a couple of imperfections in bodywork but these can only be seen on close inspection. '

cant help the advert but 10/10 for honesty

Don't like the red ones TBH, looks like a GLX, I can see the appeal though and it'll hold it's value. Nice example regardess of the clolour.

Most folk hate red saffs but i LOVE them. That looks like a very nice car and i dare say it will attract good money!

Then again it's pretty good 3dr money too...

There is one that lives near cozmeister, but lad said it's defo genuine, I was in the gf's astra at the time, when I next saw him and I was in mine I said lets have a look at the engine, he just looked very red, like the car and said I lied it's not real.
Still looked nice in red though.

Wasn't the Bonkers one, that's completely stock.

I've not seen a red one for ages, then there's this one, the Bonkers one, one at a recent Bristol RSOC meet and the one at Nat day!

Looks like it had paint on it at some point, 4x4 wing badges are located in the wrong place

bad fag burn on the front passegers seat which is a shame

I do like them in radiant red but decent set of alloys needed imo
