Joe's facelift Life Estate

[Joe-Hindle]

Thought I might as well start a thread for the car. It's a 2008 1.8 "life" estate, I was given it by my Grandad who bought it on a whim and realised he didn't actually have any need for it, handy really as my bmw needs 2.5k spending on it, so that's going to be heading off to pastures new!

The car itself is relatively clean, it's got marks here and there as to be expected, and the previous owners had dogs (so the car stinks) and it's missing the load bay cover. It's done 104k and has full service history, it's next one is actually being done on Thursday to keep the book up to date.

Currently waiting to get my private plate off my BMW, but I have done a couple of little mods to the car.

Fitted LED front side light bulbs, LED number plate bulbs, and LED interior bulbs. I've fitted a Sony headunit. The CD30 woulr have been fine, had it been one with an aux connection. Not really sure what else I'm going to do with the car as it's really just supposed to be a stopgap car until I've saved up for either another Astra H VXR or maybe even a Vectra VXR.

Change the wheels, twin exhaust and maybe leather interior or vxr interior....maybe some lowering springs and you are done

apparently, the Signum interior can be coaxed to fit an estate!



looks like a good blank canvas, keep us updated.

Well, it's been a while since I updated this 🤦🏻

The Vectra is for sale as I don't need a car this big realistically, and with doing more mileage, the fuel economy isn't the greatest.

I'm after a CDTI Astra, or Signum.. But I would consider a Vectra hatch. So if anyone knows someone after a Vectra Estate, point them my way
