If I had a VXR, that's how I'd want it to look

Same.
Looks a little too white now IMO. Kinda like when you paint over a wire on a wall becuase you cant be arsed to remove it.
Still, i'd swap it for my car in a second

100x better imo. THought the crome and badge looked random (being crome) and clustered the back end up.

In black as well as the diffuser would look better imo.

I was thinking about it, the early Astras like our Arden didn't have the chrome window strips but they aren't easily removed so a few people have had a vinyl company cover them in black vinyl.
Don't be such a fanny... get it done!
The rear end looks sweet, I'd happily accept getting left in the dust by that

237 iirc, although ojc's did get 250bhp on the rr, not sure if thats when it was standard.
oh, forgot the nurburg's have the remus? exhaust so that would be about right.

they are the same in real world driving, theres 0.3 seconds in it from 0-60 which can be made up easily in the real world.
as ojc said in another thread, mine produced 252.9bhp and 288 lb/ft when tandard, just run on tesco 99. rollers could have over read, but everyone elses results were bang on or a bit low.
