Late 2018 all the turbo badges were removed, I took mine off my 2018 model as had too many idiots sitting on my back bumper when I was just having a relaxing drive home from work, looks a lot cleaner without the badges anyway

Had my 2018 from a year old, no engine issues at all but plenty of other bits and pieces have went wrong to put me off buying another vauxhall again

Take the parcel shelf out , drop the seats down and remove that trim. Sit in the back and get someone to shower it with a hose as could be coming from any where like theseal or more than likely the brake light or spoiler mounting bolts, usually tightening it up works a treat

I wouldn't pay a penny extra and hope you're getting a hefty discount as the new model is out towards the end of the year so the shape that's available now now will take a massive hit in price come time for you to get rid of it https://www.whatcar.com/news/2021-vauxhall-astra-what-we-know-so-far/n22...

I used A dual action polisher and an couple of orange hex logic pads along with Maguire's ultimate compound as gives a good cut and leaves a good finish, don't worry as you will lift very little clear coat if polishing once every two years

Don't get the Bosch a965s set as they are for left hand drive Astras only as well as a 307 and a Citroen C4 so just get the Bosch ap28u and ap24u and that should see you right, fitted a set today and they're great

I also bought Bosch 965’s with the aero the wrong way but I found the clips did reverse ok.

Got a set of these today and can't figure out how to turn the bracket around so they fit the right way, any tips?

It's not missing the seal has just moved down the door as you can see the gap on the left hand strip... Looks like it's been removed and not fitted properly, just slide it up yourself

Yeah I have had 2 1.4t Astras and both have a got bonnet and tick fora minute or so after driving , nothing to worry about, I've stated getting a whine from mine when driving so getting shot of it in the new year

The Holstein b4 kit is around £300 on eBay, cheaper than original GM ones and an improvement over them
