The other major change was the grill - swapped for the cheap one-piece big opening version for the small slit on the GSi / GTE. That version of the Astra / Kadett was good though - a kind of magic sweet spot of early 80s lightness, and mid-80s aero before weight became a serious issue for most cars.
