I was thinking this too!
Best looking VXR I have seen.
again not sure on the web addy being on the seats, pick it off
 think the stitching will leave marks on them so dont think al bother.

Thats Byron's mates car IIRC.
i love it, got the same seats going in my clio. I quite like the mods, not in your face and Merc wheels are a cool mod.

Byron drove it to Trax one year!

Really not a fan myself, looks a bit too 'messed-with' for my liking. URLs on the seats looks awful
Merc wheels are for mercs!
Aslong as you like it though thats all that matters

maybe just my photography skills lol. i like this because its different and gets any amount of attention over a standard vxr. its nice to have 300bhp at your foot as well.

I cant view the pics cos im working remotely, but yes it was owned by steve tolley and was/is one of the highest prepared/complete VXR's about. It wasnt running the big power or alcons when he sold it as he removed alot of the tuning bits and the install which was a masterpiece.
I took it to Trax one year when it was still on the BBS CH's.
How much did you give for it?

Those mods are absolutely perfect for ruining what is a great looking car in standard form.
