I thought the wheels that come with it were Ultraleggeras??

Lovely car...but the interior still lets it down tbh!

Love it!

I like the interior. It's functional, well put together, modern, clean lines, chunky, and quite subtle

Very nice mate, local lad has just bought one too! Although I think he's got the normal VXR alloys, not the while ones?

Look very nice cars.

He's an Electrician mate. And he works very hard for the toys. 70 hour week this week and he's gone off again this morning working. Will be giving the car a proper clean and take some good quality pics this afternoon.

Cheers for the comments guys! He'll be glad to know that on the whole the car has been well received. And like I said it won't be staying standard for long so watch this space

Never noticed the plate but it had the anthracite/polished VXR wheels like the one above (it was north shields)

What was the lap time for the Astra, and where is the proof for this? I ask, because I had some clown on another forum stating that the Corsa VXR was the quickest and I proved him wrong on that count too.

It was 190% the same? Is that like 100% the same plus it has most of the same future modifications for the future?
I'm confused

Agree'd.

You dont see BMW and Porsche making 'ring special editions of their cars and they are based out there
