[dieselhead]

They could do a Melbourne one, "Dandenong" edition. :clap:

Is sure is nice, looks better with Opel badging on the Astra. Plus the OPC version has slightly different rims.

[SSS_Hoon]

looks god in white, not a fan of the carbon fibre look crap though, the wheels need to be black i think.

Still no LSD though as if you wouldnt put one in there(or is there one in there)

No !!!

No increase in power either...

It's mechanically identicle to the other current VXR's

[oneightoo]

centre dash in gloss black looks out of place..

I hate the boy racer strips on the paintwork and the white wheels don't suit it either and how about having an embossed design of the Nurburgring on the seats, (ok so it's a Nurburgring edition LOL ) this stuff would only appeal to wanna be street racers...this car is definitely too much of a cosmetic dress up job :rolleyes:

The white duco looks fantastic, they should've just left it at that ;)

agreed..

nur-burger-ring to europeans is like bathurst to us.. it should have been given performance upgrades equal to or greater than the 888..

i'd take the 888 over the burger ring anyday..

No not Dandy, has to be a western suburbs edition, complete with cut springs, massive cut out front bar for optional truck cooler and big chameleon stickers for the sides and windows!!!

Yes pity we'll never see this VXRA here, much the same as every good euro GM car!!!!

You forgot the washers as spacers for the wheels, the fake bonnet vents and a little Mugen sticker above the exhaust tip.

Personally, I actually do like it as is. :angel:

I've got the OPC version as my desktop at home for a few months now

Hahaha very true!!!

But it does look damn good as is, i'm not a fan of the wheels, remind me of the V8 supercar wheels which i also dislike, but i wish the VXR was avail in white over here!!!

Also like the piano black dash, very neat!!!

No identical. If you read the article the Vauxhall Version of the car will come fitted with a Milltek standard which will give it alittle bit more power from out of the bag over a stock one..

As for the LSD SSS Hoon. I believe the factory are working on something from what i have read on a UK forum.

Exhaust is a good inclusion, does it reflect on the price ???

LSD hope they do introduce them, will definitely be a good thing for the VXR and other Opels from now on - it would be a step in the right direction :)

[Shaun]

1500 pounds or so more then a Standard VXR. Its worth the money. They are limited numbers.

[aussie_in_london]

you could be looking at the £18 grand mark if you shop around

The demand in the UK and Europe is quite high. I doubt we will see any come to Australia as all dealers i believe in the UK will be given one at a time.

wat u think simon? bit of carbon fibre goodies for yours :p

[Wraith]

Nah, I reckon they should fit a set of 32" rims like Simon's Sri T that'll look heaps better than those pissy little white rims :D

[SIMid]

wat u think simon? bit of carbon fibre goodies for yours :p

*LOL*

Maybe the carbon mirrors. :p

32"? I like to see you fit those to yr vert Ange! :clap:

[Wraith]

LOL it'll look insane :)

I like the look of your chopped Sri t in your sig, was just guessing 32", they could be 36".......could just imagine if it was done for real - lots of work, but would look unreal :D

Chopped this for a member on the Astra forum.

[aussie_in_london]

looks very good in the flesh, pics dont show how nicely the package comes together, even the white multi spoke race wheels and checkered graphics (which are vinyl and can come off) really sets if off.

will get some pics up shortly

I think maybe the grille should be chrome, just looks toooo white. Needs some highlights. But then, the Opel grille looks better than the "V". Also, the rims are different on the OPC version.

Ange, glad you like the chop!

[aussie_in_london]

hmmmm???????? its a VXR/OPC not an SRi, VXR/OPC have colour coded grills not silver as for the wheels, the Speedline Turins seen on the OPC pre version have been dropped from production as they couldnt get them type approved in time prior to commencement of production, that is for both varients.

The comparison in grilles I already knew between the models. Just saying it kinda looks too white.

Shame they dropped the original rims, they look heaps better IMO.
