Hey you guys!!

Hey,

Just signed up. Proud owner of black vxr8 for last 6 months but only just discovered this forum. Pretty much standard so far, Wortec exhaust permitting. No real long term plans but i'm sure this forum will talk me in to something ridiculous!
Just wanted to say Hi to all and a Happy New Year!

Welcome. I'm sure the info you get from this site will enhance your ownership.

[007 VXR]

Welcome.

[SturdyHSV]

Welcome, glad you found the forum, it's the best place to be (worst for your wallet...)

[GaryNoGrip]

Welcome along, good to see someone else not offended by the vauxhall badges!

[S800VXR]

Best colour and very nice.

Now recomended mods - Peddars coilovers, OTR, ARB's, Cam, Supercharger etc etc.

Oh and get those dame badges off the car!

[ARAF]

Lovely car.

As for the badges, if Vauxhall had the balls to market the cars, then they should have their badges. If HSV didn't like that, then they shouldn't sell cars to Vauxhall.

[007 VXR]

IMHO The cars look better with out the badges on the outside, Nothing to do with the name on the badge

Another nice black one - pain to keep clean, but worth it when it is!

Lose the rear badge....it'll look so much better

It's no good if it's too fast for you to keep it on the tarmac.

Great car there, +1 for badges being removed, enjoy.

[nickfollos]

Thanks guys. Agree the badges need to go, what do you find the easiest way? Hairdryer treatment or a bit of hot water?

A bit of warmth, then dental floss to cut through the foam. Finish taking the residue off the car with a bit of Autoglym Tar Remover, or SRP.
