Had this from new middle of last year.

All standard Corsa VXR apart from being a Blue Edition it has Arden Blue paint, Satin Anthracite Wheels, Blue and Black Leather Recaro Seats, Blue Vent Rings and tinted windows.

I already had a JVC SAT/Nav DVD headunit out of my old car so i fitted that.

O and a Personal Reg Plate on it too

I've always liked these Corsa VXRs, not a fan of the blue interior but externally yours is very nice. Any modifications or is standard?

I think most chav comments thrown at it are not meant to be taken seriously. You have to get used to it on this site either way! Its a good car so I wouldn't worry what other people think.

They look good and seats are meant to be amazing!!! Its just a shame that the piston melts really and VX are awful about warranty work.

I think the piston melt thing might have been over-egged, and someone did post a link suggesting that the piston melts were due to some dodgy remaps. I certainly see a lot of Corsa VXRs driving around that don't seem to be suffering with a melted piston.

The first time I saw one of these on the road I was driving down a sliproad in my old Fiesta 1.3L, foot flat on the floor and nothing happening at all as I trundled towards the dual carriageway. A red Corsa VXR overtook me slowly and as soon as it got onto the DC the driver floored it and blasted off down the road. I've wanted to drive one ever since - it's not the sort of car I'd buy, I'd rather have an Astra VXR, but I do think they are great and often underrated cars.

Very nice car, always liked them myself.

If you don't mind how much did it cost? Looking at getting one myself at some point.

I'm a big fan of these, not sure on the blue interior but who cares, as long as it's to your taste!
