Hi all, just joined the forums and thought I'd post up a few pics of my current car. It's a 2008 Corsa VXR, not everybody's cup of tea, but I like it!

Had the car from new and have managed to keep it in top condition considering it's a daily driver. Started doing a few car shows with it over the last couple of years and have picked up a concours trophy so far.

Anyway here's the pics;

Hmmmmmm. In the nicest possible way, that has been "tarted up" very nicely. I like.

Thanks for the comments! I have tried to subtly mod it without chavving it.

I really do like the VXR. Only thing that puts me off is theres a guy on my street that has a blue one with black carbon bonnet! Its a single lane 30mph estate and he thrashes it like hes at the Ring. Its literally a matter of time before he has a big one with a kid or a car door.

Anyways.....nice car OP.

That is pretty much what I wanted to say. Well held back OP, its so easy to go OTT with the mods but you have got it just right.

Cheers, I got the splitter from a Vauxhall dealer on Ebay for £45 just before Vauxhall put the price up to £180!

Really nice looking car. These also sound great with a fruity exhaust on them. I hate the interior, but I think the exterior looks is fantastic, the VXR team should be applauded for turning such an ugly base model into such a cool and cohesive looking car. Far better than the slightly lacklustre luck of the Astra VXR.

I have never really been a massive fan of these, but all credit to you OP, that looks a cracker.

The red and silvery grey colour is the best colours for them too.
