Nice car, I think the mk4 gsi's have aged very well 
They are getting cooler by the day, and rarer.
Apparently only 21 red mk4 gsi's were made. I'd like to know how many are still alive now??
Sorry I think I quoted the quote as my own quote!?
Fixed it for you lol.
Sadly can't see how many are left by colour. But i bet there's very few.

I've only ever seen 3 including mine. Think there was a few more sri turbos in red

Remember a friend collecting her red Gsi when they came out had it for years and definitely not many made because red used to / does fade badly. Always fancied a mk4 Gsi but couldn't do it always lacked something I'd go vxr if I did
Nice car love the rear lights

Lexmaul rear lights apparently.
Yea vauxhall never quite got the hang of the red paint, usually ends up pink/white!
Nothing will ever be as sexy as a mk3 but I do have a soft spot for my mk4's

Lexmal are big money to!
You need deep pockets to run these old astra's!
Not sure if they're genuine Lexmaul or not. I'm just glad they're not 3d or lexus lights as I'd have had to bin them if they were! I quite like these ones
Yeah I do like the lights, if they are genuine then worth a fair bit lol
Had no reverse lights, so stuck in a set of led's and they ran constantly. So pulled them back out again! No idea what the problem is.

Got these from a well known Internet auction site, going to get some yellow ones for my white mk3 gsi
Tried to sort out the oil leak on this today, changed the copper washers and banjo bolts on the turbo and put a new gasket on the oil feed pipe underneath. Turns out the oil is weeping from between the turbo and the downpipe. Looks like I will have to take the whole lot off.Took the bumper off to refit it properly. It was held on with 6 cable ties!
It's now held on with 6 tech screws. Pulled off the black sticker around the numberplate while I was there
It is going pink in places so I will have to give it a polish this week. Not going mad on it though as I hate polishing.

Really have a soft spot for mk4 gsi's, one car I would get rid of the mk3 for and sometimes wish I'd got a mk4 lol
That's a really nice example always had a soft spot for the gsi
Cheers, it's showing its age a bit, couple of marks here and there but it still turns heads.
Hoping to get some Tcut on it this week, weather permitting....
Spent the last couple of nights polishing and waxing the car.
Used Tcut and auto glym spay on wax which smells lovely and is easy to use.
couldn't get the rear bumper and bootlid grab handle the same colour. Think they've been resprayed before. A lot of the paintwork has been redone in the past and some of it is a bit duff here and there. I hate polishing cars but the end result is satisfying. Just don't get too close and it looks OK!

May benefit from a compound and decent Polish
I am thinking of putting my gsi up for swap
Genuine red gsi. Leh conversion, forged, ko6, full leather 280.
Ideally like to keep my wheels so it will come on gsi snowflakes
the car runs well, has an oil leak from the turbo so will need changing eventually
Front bumper is screwed on, Engine bay is untidy and has been badly resprayed under the bonnet ( I think it has been canned on over original paint with no prep and is flaking)
_________________________________
Ideally would like a mk4 or mk3 van, z20let, z20leh c20let etc...
Or a mk3 3door...
__________________________________
Must have:
roughly the same spec engine
250+ bhp,
proper conversions only, no bodges
And must be tidy, decent interior, m.o.t etc
No sh*t boxes.
Not in any rush at all to get rid of it at all, so it must be something pretty tasty otherwise I'm not bothered
Anybody know of anything give me a shout
Cheers
