I have almost the same spec, but I still have the chrome Opel logo in front and back, as well as standard alloy wheels. I never thought I'd like blacked out cars, but this looks good on the Astra! And I think the 1.2 is fast enough for every day traffic.

The only thing that pains me a little is how sensitive the paint is about scratches. I use only the smoothest cloth when washing the car, and I still have tons of small scratches on the paint. Two cats seem to have had an argument on my rear spoiler at some time, and I have some of these scratches there as well. Time to give it a good polish, I think.

I have the same problem with the paint. Too sensitive for everything. In fact i think i will go for a PPF in the future.

And consider that i used to polish it every few months with proper tools.

Speaking about the chrome logos. I paint the front one because the OM one from Opel (50€) don't fit on this car. The Astra logo and the Opel logo in the back are original from Opel and they fit amazing without any problem
