Astra HSV (VXR) - rear diffuser

[Ash]

Hello everyone,

My name is Ashley. I am new to this forum. Glad to be a part of this group.

I have recently purchased an AH Astra SRI 2.0L Turbo. I am looking for a HSV (VXR) rear diffuser to replace the stock one (with centre exhaust outlet). Any suggestions on where I can obtain one here in Australia? Or source overseas?

Hey mate welcome along! Think I was talking to you on the ccu Facebook page? Have you tried hsv yet?

Hello, and thank you for the welcome.
I haven't tried HSV yet, but will do so at some stage. I know HSV were not impressed when all the after market Monaro tail lights went crazy. I don't think they would approve of a "non HSV car trying to look like one". Although being an imported car, they may take a different view. I have emailed some Euro companies, but have not received a reply yet.

Yeah they are apparently pretty strict on that and require a vin to get some parts. @Tim89 who is an Adelaide also got rear ended. And was replaced with the hsv diffuser. So not sure where whe went through but he will see this soon.

Welcome to the forum.

I purchased a carbon fibre rear diffuser (and roof spoiler) for my VXR a few years back and have not used it at all. I decided to keep the external appearance stock.
Where are you located ?

A few people here have expressed interest in it but at the time I was undecided about selling it, now I have too many car parts in the garage so I could be persuaded into letting it go if you strike out elsewhere.
I also have a OEM VXR exhaust system sitting in the garage.
