I recently bought an OPC Astra and must say its a great car! Before purchasing it was undecided between the MK5 golf GTi and the OPC so I went and drove a good few! The golf just seemed boring compared to the OPC! I'm running 19's and its fine! A good set of tires is needed up front and away you go! The option of the sport button is excellent too! I drive an OPC with milteck exhaust and fook me the thing was popping and banging all over the place but it's not what I was looking for at the time! Mpg is great, there super smooth and great fun!
Go drive a few, it's the only way you'll know weather you like them or not!

Did you buy a 2010 reg in Westmeath by any chance?

Nothing major done with mine dave, I just wanted something different at the time of ownership.
I done a full detail on it and car was immaculate inside and out when I had it. Not a dent or stone chip to be seen. Paint was fully paint corrected.
Wheels I got done by wheel wizards as they were in sh*t from previous owner. New tires also fitted by them.
Carbon fibre wrapped the chrome window trim to suit new colour of wheels.
Other than that it had rocker cover gasket leak which I did myself with all original gasket and new bolts.
When I booked it in to get a check up in Opel they told me it had a lot of upgrades from first time of sale.
Bigger wheels and suspension upgrade packages been the biggest.

Can't be too many of those about so must keep my eyes open.
Is the Legacy going to get a rebuild or is it gone?
[/quote]
Good few around here but all that standatd blue.
Mine is 2008 star silver
The legacy is gone now. Two completely different cars. The only complant i have about the OPC is the driving position is too high...but that might be because im so used to driving slammed cars for the past 10 years

You can adjust the set down to the floor I've mine on the lowest setting. It's call Arden blue...its an opc/vxr only colour. Get a few pictures of your one up.

New opc will be 750 euro annually as it has 189 g/co2

That's extremely reasonable...mine is 710 for the year...and it's not really new....theyve just stuck some opel badges on the current UK model must have had a few bits left over out in Germany from the left hand drive model

That's a big problem 280 vs 750 a year knew it would be dirty pitty.
