No you'd have to spend hundreds making it fit, changing intake, exhaust etc. You're better off buying a 16v engine off ebay, see them on there for about 300-400

Hi i'm new as well, thought id quickly ask, does it not leave holes on the back badge?, as i have just got my first car too (1.2 2006)
i have been going a bit crazy with fitting lights, i have:
Under car L.E.D Strips X4 (£20 for all, includes wireless remote, and lots of colors and settings)
Two 30cm blue L.E.D Strips in the boot, with a toggle switch (with a carbon fiber cover) connected.
30cm blue L.E.D Strips , Passenger and Driver foot well lights (connected to center console light, so they fade on and off )
30cm strips are £1.00 off amazon, and so was the switch
Was thinking of painting the current wheels black?! (picture below not my car, but same wheels)

I'm afraid you didn't imagine! As I'll be going to uni in september where I won't have a car for years, I thought I might as well really enjoy driving before I go. I love my grande punto but it turns out I can get insurance on a 1.6 astra for very slightly cheaper than this! Managed to win a lovely example so just need to sell my car to fund the new one!

Hi, welcome to the forum. As much as I appreciate you asking me for advice, why not start your own thread! That way every one can see it easier and then you can continue your progress on it (instead of mine

yeah ok sorry

I think black would maybe be too dark though, a popular choice is anthracite/gunmetal grey!
yeah ok sorry
Think i've got the same colour gp as you mate, I've got anthracite/gunmetal alloys as I thiught the black would be too dark (as luke said) I think it really works, getting more anthracite now cause of them!

So guys, I am no longer a punto driver, but an astra driver!
Got it cheap as it's been scrapped down the drivers side and requires need door, wing and some scuffs repainting but other than that she's lovely and I absolutely love driving it!
I loved my grande punto and will never forget it but I thought it was time to upgrade! Plus the insurance on my astra is £11 cheaper
Just wanted to say thanks to every one on the forum, you've all been very friendly and helpful and will be sure to pop back every now and then to see how everyone is getting on!
All the best,

Thanks Jordan! Yours is also a very nice example, very clean
orange was always my favourite on the GP.Honestly I didn't even know they had a 'non fiat' section, I think I will start a thread there
Oh GOD what a terrible choice! I bet you last a few months then decide to sell it haha. What made you pick an Astra?!
OP

Well thanks for that... that's exactly what I wanted to hear..
As nice as the lines on the Astra are...its an Astra. Each to their own though, good luck with the motor. Get a non-fiat thread going in the section

Prefer it to the Grande Punto, built a lot better, but as you said each to their own. Thanks I definitely will when I find time

Here don't mind any of that talk, sure look at all the sh*t people say about Fiat - especially Puntos! The Astra is a great car, looks the business and has loads of kit and comfort as well as being built great so well wear and all the best with itPrefer it to the Grande Punto, built a lot better, but as you said each to their own. Thanks
PS: My missus has a red 2009 GTC so I concur!

I do love my Punto, it's highly underrated! Fantastic car for the price you are paying! It never let me down but I couldn't argue with the price I payed for the Astra.
Thanks a lot
