What did the VXR 220 have extra over VX220 turbo? Badge & remap? What it worth the 20bhp?
Cheers.

Different wheels, softer tyres, different suspension and seats, it's got quite a few changes to standard spec in addition to the extra power.

Vauxhall has added 10 percent more power by fitting a free-flow air-filter, reprogramming the ECU and fitting a new turbo
0-60 sprint falls to 4.2 seconds, top speed rises slightly, to 153mph.
suspension changes and the tenaciously grippy Yokohama A048R tyres
The usual dash-panel has been overlaid with a carbon-fibre insert, with a plaque at one end denoting the limited edition car's number. There'll only be 65
In short, the regular VX220 is a great roadgoing sports car that's fairly handy on a race track. The VXR220 is a great track car that's fairly handy on the road.

VXR is much more than just another 20bhp, to get the power though they have different turbo, injuctors, exhaust (miltec i think) and map. They also have different wheels (compomotive) proper track tyres, proper seats, diff coloured interior, black windscreen surround, black vee and black spoiler and some mega expensive uber ohlins suspension which sits them 20mm lover than a stock VXT. There nearly a second quicker to 60 than the normal turbo.
edit - and track focused brakes as well, Pagid pads and drilled discs i think. ABS unit is supposed to be different as well but i dont think thats official.

The milltek and Ohlins were optional extras IIRC 
And the ABS is defintely an upgraded unit
