Anyone with a carbon fetish?

I've been trying to find a rear vxr diffuser on uk ebay for a while now when this popped up... ironically the cheapest diffuser inc. shipping I've seen on there. Shame I don't see it working on a black astra

The carbon actually works really well on the black astras. Nice and subtle accent details.
Check out the 888 stealth editions (there's only 4 of them, but there should be pics around)
they've got carbon fibre mirror covers, carbon fibre v-grille and cf boot strip.
Will give you an idea of how it looks.

Personally I think that would look GREAT!!! Carbon and a black car always looks good IMHO...

If I had a VXR, that would be on its way to my house ASAP!!!! I likey a lot!!!!

I think the chrome boot strip would have to be carbon dipped for it to work... and the painted sections of the opel badge would too. Only problem is I don't know any carbon dippers... and I'm not usually someone to try something different . Very tempted to buy it now though after seeing some 888 pics.

I think the chrome boot strip would have to be carbon dipped for it to work... and the painted sections of the opel badge would too.

Try this lot maybe?

Only two left now figure I can always paint it if I don't like it - it is the cheapest diffuser I have seen landed, cheaper then HSV. Thanks for aquadip sooty! Car's going to look quite different in two months..

These are real carbon though, not he dipped type. With the chrome strip you would either go without it, do it in matt black, gloss black or the black chrome they do...

Either way, real carbon looks 1000 times better than the dipped stuff and this would look cool. They do a front lip too!!!!!

I can see them getting a bit of business through this thread . I have to note though, I don't have a vxr - just wanting a 3" exhaust and prefer it to look balanced, ie not hanging off one side. -shrugs-

Few good ideas so far . Definitely will have to do something to the chrome strip though for it to work... if black chrome looks as good as it sounds, considering that.
