* Park-heater (Eberspächer)

And here's some pics of her, when I bought it:

Lovely car

Some minor mods have been made already to her, and some are still to come. It's my daily car, so need to keep that in mind.

So...first I wanted all of my rear windows tinted and put Heko-wind deflectors:



Next I had one oem sunglasses holder left over from previous Astra and it was bolt-on:


Then the full chrome grill is just my cup of tea, so some vinyl paint and problem solved.
At same time while waiting paint layers to dry, it was good time to check if the Opc-line (or Vxr-line) front lip sits nicely. I bought it from scrapyard at bargain ( 50€ = 44,5£)








Then installed some door sills:



And I bought Opc/Vxr/Bi-turbo steering wheel at Ebay, it was from UK, btw. I think I made good deal, it was only 60£ incl. postage here in Finland.
This has no heating, but It's easy to swap heated one for winter.

Some mods needs to wait until next spring, like lowering kit and some 20" wheels:

20" AEZ Strike, 9x20, offset 40


Eibach -30mm lowering springs

And because we have actual winter that is also long one, this parking heater (with remote) is my new best friend:



There's button also in the glovebox for starting it manually:

Sorry, but no.
I would love to make full badge swap with Vauxhall badges...if only my other plans wouldn't include opc-line badges

Today this one got few new bits and data in form of remap. We ended up at 185whp/420nm torque. This is how it should've been from factory!

PS. the map came from your lovely little island.

Very nice.
They'll set the car off

Actually...I would appreciate help with those. Seems like it's easier to find suitcase full of money than those side skirts here in Finland AND with reasonable price. If any of you happens to stumble these on the internet's world of wonders, please give me heads-up!
