Looks nice but the Astra 2.2 would blow the ZS 1.6 into the weeds !

Would you be happy with that amount of power?

It does look nice that I will admit. But don't rush in if you have doubts, the right one will let you know soon enough!

Then sit it out and go for a 120 or better still go a bit older and get a 180 ! As another forum member once stated - Why modify a car to something that already exists ?!
