I see Vauxhall have copied much of the Fiat Coupe Dash, yet they are years apart in original design. Is it the Fiat was ahead of its time, or are Vauxhall still stuck in the early 90's?
Bloke next door has one. Traded his whoefully unreliable MGF for exactly the same car. Got to say it looks too plain for me, but a nice car non the less.

Sorry but I don't have their telephone number but I'm sure if you search yell or BT you'll find it . Speak to Paul or Chris there and mention Astra Owners Club and in particular me (jam).
They are able to do 6-7 cars per day, as setting up some of the lighting for the cars can take up to 45 minutes because you obviously wouldn't want any reflections of the lights on the cars . It was all done very professionally and I can say right now that they are amazing at their job and the machines and women they have photographed just turn out so excellent on camera and thats before editting.
The photos Nick has posted up are the uneditted ones I should point out.
Thought that would help guys & gals.

Are you joking? becuase an uno?, if you think people would prefer your uno over a nice Astra that is very tidy, you really need to pull your head out of your arse mate.
This is coming from a punto driver!
Could allways look like this init.

as i work for vauxhall i have a few things to say lol
1, the balance between new engines and repairing headgaskets are actually quite even. the reason why people choose engines over fixing it is because after labour and parts costs the exchange engine is actually cheaper.
2, the value of coupes doesnt actually drop that much to be honest unless they have high mileage or are in a right state but thats the same as any other car.
3, the picture of that white uno has clearly been restored with resprays and stripped out to be sorted..so obviously it wasnt in great condition if that was needed and yeah the uno is no sports car..a "hot hatch" yes but no sports car..there is a difference.

i really would like to get this done, but tbh for me, that is too far north... 4 hours from where i am...
i might speak to them anyway, as if we get more cars, they might be more economical with the price
even if i can get it for £50, fir me at least, it'll be another 50 worth of petrol...

They are in the same place as all Vauxhalls from the 1980's. Out of the hundred of thousands of Vauxhalls that were once on our streets, amazing how little of them survive today!! So much for calling Fiat rust heaps. Iam in the motortrade, and boy did Vauxhalls rust. Nova hatches around rear and front inner wings were rusted through after only 2-3 years old. Same with Cavaliers around arches and inner arches. Rust buckets. And that cr*p 1600 diesel they used which was based on the petrol engine. A piece of junk.
I love ecotec engines today. Riddled with electronic problems, and they have next to no torque, so you need to rev the b*lls off them to get any performance out of them. Oh and the fibre tensioners on the cams are a joke!!
mind you, i have a Vauxhall Omega 2.5 Elite, and its a brilliant car, and very very underated. Drives superb and handles as well as any BMW can. Excellent chassis and was the bases for the Monaro.

I was rooting around my mates Corsa C the other week trying to figure what ECU sensor was throwing a wobbly. Its frankly astounding how badly corroded the suspension strut top caps were given the age of the car (damn bad rust on an 01 plate)...

tis true vauxhall throw so much electrical stuff into their cars its unreal, being in parts i should know. tech2 gets abused to find faults so much.
to be fair most things rust quick now a days. one of the salesman at work had his rover streetwise (godawefull thing it was) on the ramp and it was a 55plate and jesus the fuel tank was covered in rust front to back. actually felt unsafe to stand under it incase it went lol

Not everyone pays for their car on finance... I paid for mine with cash (10K).
It is quite easy to save with a well paid job and no mortgage.
Nice Astra by the way
