Looks horrible.
People go on about how the focus rs looks tacky. This is 10 times worse in my opinion.

As an option. Colour range is better too (there's an actual choice!) but it looks best in the grey of the press car.

I like, but not a big fan of the stickers but hey ho. Is this the first production car to be available with 300bhp FWD? (Before the RS that is)

LSD, stripped out with cage (optional), bucket seats, AP racing brakes, R888's (optional) KW Varient 3 coilovers, RARB.
Isn't that the VXR-R Olly?
Yea, just found all the details:

BTW, my crap pics of the VXR-S on the Thorney stand at Autosport on Saturday - it was stupidly busy, and very difficult to get pictures!
The one with green lips to the wheels is their race car:

They're not production cars, they're cars modded by a 3rd party tuner.

For me, that car is the sex I love the mk5 Astra in black as it is, whether it is the VXR, with the XP kit, or without anything

And it shows!
Im sorry but it looks shit! I love Astra Vxrs but they look dull in black, the wheels are fiddly the red stripe is tacky to anyone over the age of 21 and those stickers are diabolical.
Like the power figures tho

TBH I wouldn't spend 24k on one, I'd rather spend 15k on a Burg and spend 5k making it better than a Focus RS

They are Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2, I expect you have seen a lot of cars with those wheels outside Halfords.
