Fair play mate, at least you've found the one you want.  :yes:

A good wash and polish will bring her up nice (even my sheddy Astra looks nice when it's been polished... and they say you can't polish a turd  :lol: ).

A session with a steam cleaner will transform your engine bay, I'm yet to come across a mk3 Astra with a clean engine bay

wont the x20heat heat shield fit over it or cant you fab something shiny to cover it up as no matter what you do its never going to look good is it.

I'm yet to come across a mk3 Astra with a clean engine bay

Mine is pretty damn clean!

Nice new motor there Sam. if you're a good lad, I may let you take a photo of it parked next to my Sport!
