Nicely spec'd Astra, congrats SirA.
The grille looks different on yours, I don't remember seeing the chrome surround trim before.
Is this part of a appearance package in North America. Looks sweeeet.
Nice wheels as well, goes nice with the colour and 5 door shape.

Good stuff. I had noticed the Astra in your profiule and figured I must have missed something.
I have had these in Europe as rentals and always found them funky (in a good way).

Enjoy.

The slippery road warning is just the usual warning others get as a snow flake, ICY or w/e.. +4 and below triggers that..

Yup. The slippery road warning comes on almost all the time in the 128i. Slightly annoying.

Congratulations on your new Astra. Maybe you should start considering some exterior mod from bodykits to rebadging to Opel or Vauxhall. Either way or both works well!

A lot of models have the "May be Ice Roads Warning" when is cold out as my newer Caddie has it also when I 1st start it up. It only last for a few seconds before going out but is just a reminder to drive safely when I drive away in it from any time I am stopped somewhere. Dosen't offend me at all.  :)

I find the 5 door Astra to be an attractive car, even more so in this shade of blue.  Great choice.

Great choice, and I've always loved that ecotec engine.  It's peppy and great on gas.  Congrats!
