I know someone told me that they wanted one. I'm sure these are the same pictures that were posted up for the last one that was for sale.

That'll end up costing about £400
Not worth it

I was after one, back on my old spoiler for now, can`t make my mind up, they seem to fetch strong money, not sure it`s worth it, or if I even want it! wink

I think VXR8s look Shyte with them keep your original one it was designed for it and works well with the whole car design

IF it goes for around £400 its a good price considering they market these in aus for around 1100+ aus dollars.

Not for me though i prefer the rear wing rather than a lip.

The lip spoiler looks absolute toss.

People seem to throw money at anything R8 related that isn't standard and this is no different.

How is it not standard? It's a genuine HSV part for a Senator - I think it looks great. No chance of it bowing in the middle at 170+ smile

The VXR8 didn't come out of the factory standard, it is not an HSV model domestically available but one built for Vauxhall

I wouldn't go that far, but I do prefer the standard R8 spoiler that we get. However, for some it's too much, so if they want something a little more subdued, why not fit something that was original equipment from another car in the HSV range?
