They do look nice in red i must admit! When i was at The Fish t'other day there was a silver one parked outside and i had a good look over it.....but i just thought, meh. (it did need a good wash though!)

Ringram wash your car................

lol thanks guys.....

I was considering the Phantom Black, but having owned a Black BMW and Very dark Blue BMW I thought it would be nice for a change

Very happy with the colour even if I was a little gutted I could not get a White one like I originally wanted.

Sorry due to taking the p1ss i overlooked the reason for the thread. Lovely car flower. I'm surprised Stig hasn't been along boasting about his new red one

ok mate ..
put your name on the thread as soon as you know ..

[Phantom Mark]

So now im having a debate with myself.....

Should I remove the Vauxhall badges and replace with Holden ?? or should I just remove the Vauxhall boot badge and leave the emblems in place ?? really cannot decide at the moment to be honest, im not ashamed of owning a Vauxhall at all, but given that its just a rebadged Holden im wondering if thats the right way to go.

[Magic919]

It's a rebadged HSV. Please don't stick Holden badges on. Lots of us get that rooster thing badge off the boot and the lettering.

[Phantom Mark]

Yes I know its HSV.....I did not mean literally Holden Badges/Emblems hahahha

[paramoreg]

de-badge it mate

[Phantom Mark]

Well thats the thing, do I just remove the Vauxhall lettering and leave the emblems, or maybe the VXR8 badge as well and replace with an imported R8 Clubsport item ??? Not seen one of those so can't decide on that either atm....

[V88Dicky]

Go the whole hog mate and order the 'correct' badges for your car. Don't forget, VXR means VauXhall Racing, so if you don't want your car displaying anything to do with Vauxhall, then it has to go too!

[Phantom Mark]

Has anyone here done the full conversion ?? how much did it cost please?

My biggest worry is removing the original Vauxhall and VXR8 badges, I debagged my BMW once but it was not "easy" to get rid of all the sticky residue, if someone has experience please pipe up

Right im off to Cadwell for my session now, catcha laters guys n gals, Cheers
