High milers with loads of owners and chains about to snap normally, as soon as the sell and dissapeared off ebay someone signs up to vxr online as a "newbie" and sticks a post up along the lines of "just bought my first vxr and the eml light has come on p0018 p0016"

Shame really as there such good cars but everyone's put off by road tax, running costs and the fact that 95% of them are a ticking time bomb for needing a couple of grand spending on them, sorted ones still pull good money seen some go for upto 7k. God knows what I'd ask for mine

1967 gav I'm gonna try get some pictures of it this weekend it's at the parents house atm as my garage at home is full of crap and the garage I work out of is full of cars lol

I'd want £5.5 - £6 grand for mine now iv done the chsins but dunno if I'd get it, don't want to sell it yet anyway but don't wanna lose loads of money on it either so if the arse starts to fall out of them I'll flog it.

Anyway I love the vxr wheels and have been toying with chainging them but don't know what for I can't find anything I like I want it to be different, ideally I want to keep the vxr wheels but just get them sitting in the arches better so I'm thinking of trying spacers first, if I can get the car sitting nicer on them that way I'll be made up, I had this idea last night and my mate did s photo shop.. But I'm not sure I like it, they would be black not silver

I'm thinking cream wheels or battle ship grey both I think would look good on red as would black but you lose the detail with black, can't make my mind up, gonna order spacers for mine see how that turns out first

ET45... I think!

I was going to try a set of 19" Porsche Cayenne on mine, with Spacer/PCD Adaptors - it's been done on a Signum and looks



I'd love to do similar, would get shot for spending out 'unnecessarily' on it at the mo though...

So I ordered some light tinting film off ebay was a bit curious to see what it was like quality wise, anyway it turned up and went straight in the bin it would look neater if I used duck tape I reckon so that's a job I'll get done when the windows get done.

My VXR online stickers turned up too which was good, shame they sent me internal stickers after I requested external so they also went in the bin, successful evening

I want some of them!!!


Love the car Tom, very smart & clean looking motor - I hope I can afford to have one of these for my cool Dad's car in years to come.

Also am a sucker for a red car, my old ST24 which was polished so much to keep the red radiant.

Yeah they mist instead of squirt normally in all in favour of a good squirter but when it comes to washer jets I like a misting

Apparently there a direct replacement don't know if they will fit a corsa but I'm sure with minimal modification they will there only £5 for genuine GM.

Cheers mate! That looks lovely mine needs s good polish to get rid of swirl marks still very red though as luckily it's power red not flame pink haha
