Do Vauxhall OFFICIALLY do a Corsa VXR Nurburgring edition? 
 
I know they do a Astra VXR in it, but today i saw a corsa with the same decals and was wondering if it is a genuine VXR nurburgring of he has had the decals put on hiself? 
 
One other thing, how can you tell a proper Corsa VXR from a VXR replica?

They definately do.... 
Not sure on the engine though, might be the 1.6 but I heard rumours it wasn't. 
Evidence of it.... (Unless someone had modified it but it looked factory to me)

Corsa_tomtom, me too, but it doesnt matter anyway lol. I wanna know if they officially offer a vxr corsa nurbugring, and how to tell if a corsa vxr is actually a corsa vxr and not just got the styling pack

There's one round here. 
 
1. I think they've stuck the decals on. 
2. It looks fucking crap either way.

Was it the same as the one I saw in the lakes??? 
It it was then some dealers might throw the graphics on. A bit like the 107 Rallye lol...

Nah, it's got the fading grey(ish) stickers. 
 
I'll try get a pic of it, some bird drives it, just passed their test so guessing it's not a 1.8.

I didnt think the engine changed just for the nurburgring edition even in the astra vxr? Still a 2.0turbo?

Sara's is a 1.8 and she got that when she first passed.... Paid £1400 fully comp insurance! 
 
Doesn't sound like it will be, most likely a fake then and a 1.2

Good looking motor. Smoked headlights make a massive difference.

Sorry to confuse everyone but I meant they put the 1.8 in the Nurburgring edition Corsa D and NOT (As I was having a mental block) the Corsa VXR Nurburgring edition

They had a 1.8 that was stripped out at one of the motor shows, didn't think it was available to buy though?

So would i be safe to put £100 on the fact that vaux do not: 
 
Do a nurburgring VXR corsa (D)? 
Do a 1.8 Turbo VXR corsa (D)? 
 
 
What engine does the standard corsa Arctic have?
