The indicator lenses are from a pre facelift - the grill however is the right grill for that age astra.
Not sure about the bumpers - but they look the same style front and rear.
Also I don't recall - apart from the GSI any pre facelift version - even Uk spec SRis and CDs having the colour coding on the bumpers like that one does.
Looks like the black section on the bumpers was designed that way - and id say the bumpers are proper facelift.
Not sure though

Ordered new kidney grills last night; went for gloss black ones. I have a bit of a black theme going on the car so hopefully they'll look well. And sure they were cheap enough so if I don't like them I can change them. This is what it should look like, except mine has black indicator housings on the front, instead of the silver ones in this pic:

The reason is I'm moving in with my fiancé, we've a wedding next year and tbh we probably only need one car.
That's class, more than welcome to spin by and have a spin in my 166 at some stage if you're still in Dublin? May help with your choice of replacement!
Oh and congrats on the wedding..!0 -

Sure someone was on here before that they have a corolla with 750k on it and its a 2007 if i remember right.
Ah I wouldn't be in a rush to buy it anyway, to be honest. The Pathfinder still has my attention (but I'm having a hard time justifying getting rid of the Focus, as it's grown on me quite a bit).
That said, a random browse on Donedeal of all things big and small brought this Audi into my sights.

Aside from looking like it's being lowered, I actually quite like it. I'm not a person that's big into car brands at all (I associate bigger marquees like BMW and Audi with more expensive running costs, not quite an 'image' person) but that car caught my eye.
But if I went out and bought it, that'd mean I've the focus just under 6 months. The Rav4 is the only car that lasted a year with me, everything else lasted around 6months.. I don't really want to get into the habit of getting bored and swapping every 6 months (an expensive habit!
).
I've had 4 cars in less than 2.5 years of driving. Much as I like driving different cars, I'm kinda thinking it's a bit silly to be jumping around so much.
I'd imagine on this forum there are a fair few of ye that jump about a lot and swap over regularly?0 -

The way I look at it is if I change more often I will hopefully spend less on parts and bits that will go wrong and I just love chanfe anyway.0 -
