Never realised the Corsa VXRs came in this colour? Look lovely i must say. Looks like the Storm Grey you can get in the Renaultsport Clio 200s. I've always been a big fan of that and i usually only like quite loud and vibrant paint schemes. What does everyone think? Is this a standard colour or has it been sprayed or wrapped a custom colour? Doesn't help that I've really taken a liking to these recently despite all of the chav-related jokes and documented reliability issues.

Having owned a few hot hatches, I'd say the Nurburgring version is the one to get if you can - I was very impressed after driving it

I think the colour is called silver lightening

Nurburgring ones offer better value for money - LSD, brakes, more power etc.

Arden Blue is the only colour to have on a VXR imo! More exclusive

I fancy owning a car next after my lease is due up but don't want it be be an absolute money pit. Suppose that's the risk you take with any used car. Think i prefer the normal ones to the Clubsports/Nurburgring editions. Really love that triangle exhaust on them. Plus they would be a bit out of my price range i reckon although they still have time to depreciate. It's either one of these or a lease on a Fiesta ST for a few years. Just think the styling is boring and absolutely everyone's got one. Suppose there's a reason for that though.

My 172 had a full Storm Grey respray before I got it

Gets a lot of comments, including the obligatory primer ones

Gorgeous that mate! I do love a well looked after 172. My friend had one for his first car. Fell in love ever since.
