Recently had a full REMUS turbo back straight through exhaust system fitted. Sounds mental. Also decided I didnt like the huge griffin badge on the boot so removed that and the astra badge off the chrome boot strip. Pictures below show rear before badge removal and new exhaust and after.

Before:

After:

Also didnt like the orange lighting on the dash so yesterday I had the lighting changed to blue and it looks awesome. Sorry for the poor pictures, taken with my phone.

Also as standard the VXR logo on the dials does not light up as it is just printed on. Mine now lights up

Nice - I'd may be remove the VXR badge too, looks odd on its own imho.

How did you get blue dials? Is that with LEDs you fitted yourself, or new coloured dials?

They are the original dials. The lights are SMD's not LED's. There is a guy on vxronline.co.uk that removed all the dash. He thenremoves all the original orange lights (about 130 ish in all) and solders the new blue ones in.

Wish Vauxhall had done this to begin with.

Have a look on vxronline. Loads of topics with progress pictures from various people who have had it done

Remus. Good purchase, although a touch boomy for my liking.

personally dont like the exhaust, the original one is just the perfect fit... your new one looks a bit pissed too. the boot for me is neither here nor there, it looks good, but a bit plain

the lights look wicked though

Not trying to be a cunt but SMDs are LEDs.
